Balancing the health and dynamics of intermittently closed estuaries is a critical part of our role in supporting beach and estuary management.

Estuaries are important biologically diverse ecosystems that have significant ecological, social, cultural and economic value.

The health of our estuaries is threatened by coastal development, declining water quality and loss of habitat for native species.

The dominant plant groups in our estuaries are seagrass, mangroves, saltmarsh, macroalgae and microalgae.

Cuttaburra National Park, located 150 km north-west of Bourke, a vast outback property spanning more than 37,000 hectares has been added to the national park estate, protecting part of one of Australia's most important wetlands and an array of threatened species.

Estuaries play a major role in the lifecycle of many freshwater and marine fish species.

A diverse range of ecologically and commercially valuable invertebrates live in our estuaries.

Sea turtles, frogs and other aquatic animals live in our estuaries and use them for food, rest and shelter.
