Water, wetlands and coasts

We help monitor, manage and assess the ecological condition of our water and coastal environments. This includes the marine environment, coasts and estuaries, floodplains and wetlands.

Through this work we:

• protect and enhance freshwater and marine environments
• support biodiversity, local communities and economies
• help manage environmental water and monitor the responses of plants and animals to water flows
• assess the health of estuaries and waterways to help reduce impacts of development and land use on the environment
• deliver state-wide coastal monitoring and mapping data
• support decision makers to assess and mitigate the risk of floods, coastal erosion and a changing climate.
