Funded Activity Summary

Assessing the Groundwater Dependence of Nearshore Coastal Ecosystems in the South East of South Australia. Groundwater in the SE region of SA is a valuable resource. The South East Catchment Water Management Board is responsible for planning sustainable management of these resources. The Board seeks to discover whether any marine ecosystems are dependent upon these groundwater resources, to inform their water-allocation planning decisions. This research combines field-based marine ecology with groundwater hydrology to assess the influence of groundwater outflow upon small estuaries, sandy beaches and lagoonal seagrass meadows that exist along the coastline from Kingston SE to the Victorian border. Our multidisciplinary approach will set a benchmark nationally and internationally for such applied research.
