The Role of Ecology in Coastal Zone Mangement: Perspectives from South-East Australia

  • Chapter
Perspectives on Integrated Coastal Zone Management

Part of the book series: Environmental Science ((ENVSCIENCE))

Abstract

There should be growing concern in southern Australia about the nature of management of coastal habitats because of the increasing gulf between the clear scientific needs of managers and the sorts of contributions relevant environmental scientists are allowed to make. The problems for Australia’s coastal zones are expanding. We are one of the most urbanized societies on earth (Yapp 1986), so problems for coastal planning around our major cities — which are all on estuaries at the coastal margins — are large. Increased leisure and the “greying” of our population has meant greatly increased demand for coastal life-styles. Approximately 90% of all applications for new residential buildings are on the coast.
