Funded Activity Summary

Estuarine wetland rehabilitation and ecohydraulics: the link between hydraulics, sediment, benthic invertebrates, vegetation and migratory wading bird habitat. Water flow is the lifeblood of estuarine wetlands and has a major impact on ecological habitat. Despite this, little is known about the link between the threatened migratory birdlife, benthic invertebrates, wetland vegetation and the aqueous environment that supports them. This study will determine the interrelationships between key characteristics of migratory wader habitat and the hydraulic environment. The study will be conducted in the internationally significant Hunter estuary. The project will result in ecological management strategies based on hydraulic control for estuarine wetlands. These are essential for the design of culverts and roads and other development throughout coastal Australia.
