The Importance Of Costal Management In Australia

Great Essays
In contrast to many other countries, Australia contains a massive amount of continuous costal lines stretched out all over the country. The vast coastline consists of approximately sixty thousand kilometres. In order to protect and maintain this coast line, costal management plans must be put into action. Costal management is the act of proposing and taking into action ideas in which help to maintain costal areas. Most of the Australian coast holds many financial benefits in regards to its resources such as its biodiversity and land structure which are both in potential danger due to negative human impacts. Costal management is very important as it pays major contribution to the protection of the biodiversity and land structure of the coast. …show more content…

    I have submitted to the Surf Coast Shire a recommendation which has entailed a suggested plan .Once the clean up work has been conducted by Surf Coast Shire, DELWP and the EPA with the possible scraping or capping of the reserve. This will minimise any contamination, being health hazards to anyone or anything. I have proposed a raised timber Boardwalk encompassing the area, this will provide the public with many viewing platforms , pergola picnic areas, bird hides for observers , metal silhouettes of indigenous people/wildlife, camouflaged into the native vegetation , giving a glimpse of the past with information plaques, focussing on plant /wildlife/ ecosystems and cultural significance of the region. This will provide protection and give respect, to the environment with minimal damage.…

    Impacts of “Kestrel storm diversion pipe” excavation and implementation: The excavation of the channel for the Kestrel storm diversion pipe will result in the temporary removal of habitable land where the channel is dug and around a small area along its length. This is assumed to be from the physical excavated hole, resulting dense and waterlogged soil which is a possible outcome of excavation as well as human presence and construction equipment. Once excavation of the first pipe begins there will be a displacement of small volumes of soil and sediment around each section of pipe. These are to be stored on site and used to fill the hole after the pipe is placed. Any excess is to be collected by trucks and transported elsewhere.…

    Sand dune erosion is occurring on the Cronulla coastline due to the coupling of human and natural impacts and is gradually resulting in the beach being less able to be protect itself from natural implications. The constant sand dune erosion is creating a steeper slope this is allowing waves and winds to rapidly remove sand from the dunes. The sand dune erosion is destroying habitats from plants and animals, this is substantially decreasing the biodiversity on the coastal environment. Sand dune erosion is resulting in loose sand to be blown from the dunes because the vegetation has been removed, this is impacting the coastal environment as it is removing all vegetation causing a significant reduction in the biodiversity which is also disrupting the natural processes for the coastal ecosystem. As the sand dunes are eroding since the waves and winds are removing the sand from the shore, the loss of sand results in the beach becoming narrower and closer to the residents.…

    a) Another example of how humans have impacted the stimulus coastal environment is urban development of the coastline. The increased amount of people living near the coast has resulted in more residential construction along the coast and the development of sand dunes for 'prime' real estate and recreational purposes. This has had devastating effects on Australia’s coastline including the damaging effects on the sand dunes that protect the inland areas during times of high energy storms. The construction of buildings, including the marina in the stimulus photo, on top of sand dunes has also seen the increase in the rate of erosion and the loss of sand at several beaches. The marina and breakwater in the stimulus photo also clearly shows the…

    The rich biodiversity of the Great Barrier Reef is maintained by the implementation of zones as shown in the diagram. Areas of the reef that are vulnerable to human induced stress are termed as preservation zones where human activities are excluded. Intragenerational equity is evident through the acknowledgement of the indigenous people who occupied the land for over 60, 000 years. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority’s Indigenous Partnerships Group works with traditional owners groups, government and private sector agencies to manage the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The preservation and scientific research zones demonstrate a precautionary approach to the management of the Great Barrier Reef as we still do not know enough about ecosystems such as the Great Barrier Reef to utilise it in a way that reduces its functioning.…

    The changing land use around Sydney Harbour is caused by a large variety of reasons, which shape Sydney into what it is today. The earliest known recount of the land’s usage that it was used for hunting, gathering and primary production by the Indigenous people. After the European settlers arrived*, they cleared the lands which drove out most of the native wildlife. Initially, the area had been planned to be used for agriculture but the land was deemed relatively infertile so their plans moved westwards. It was from the 1800s onwards that the area is now being to harbour ships; following a myriad of factories and warehouses being developed along the surrounding streets.…

    A coastline is defined as a linear intersection of the coastal land with the surface of a water body. Although it is easy to define, the shoreline is difficult to capture because of natural variability of water levels and climatologic conditions and the effects of geomorphic processes such as sediment transport by long-shore currents the shoreline position varies continuously with time…

    Introduction: Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR), one of the world’s most precious marine ecosystems, has been deteriorating due to poor water quality (Kroon et al., 2016). One of the main reasons for this substantial decline in water quality over recent decades is agricultural runoff of nitrogen, pesticides/ herbicides and sediment (Figure 1). In fact, the water quality is most affected in the inshore areas in the southern and central regions near the most intensive agriculture. The impacts are biophysical in their effects on the marine animal and plants of the Reef. For example, coral cover declined about 50 percent from 1985-2013 (Brodie et al., 2013, p.2).…
