Funded Activity Summary

Nutrient Cycling in Lagoon of Islands,Tasmania: management to control eutrophication. Hydro Tasmania manages the Lagoon of Islands, a shallow freshwater lake on Tasmania's central plateau. The lagoon provides irrigation water and supports a significant recreational fishery. Over the last decade the lake has suffered increased nutrient enrichment, despite catchment management works to reduce external nutrient loads. Preliminary nutrient budgets suggest that a significant proportion of the water column nutrient load comes from the sediments, phytoplankton or macrophytes. Internal nutrient loads and loading mechanisms will be characterised. Cost effective strategies for their management will be developed utilising hydrological manipulation - a largely unexplored technique.
