Cosser Summary Nutrients in Marine and Estuarine Environments presents three case studies which highlight the complexity and diversity of issues surrounding the nutrient problem. The case studies are: 1. The Great Barrier Reef Region, by J. Brodie. This study examines a regional scale marine nutrient enrichment problem, and highlights the multiple sources of nutrient inputs and the difficulties dealing with the issue on such a large scale. 2. Tuggerah Lakes, New South Wales, by A. Kennedy. This study examines the impact of catchment development on the nutrient regime of an estuarine lake system. 3. Moffat Heads, Queensland, by P. Cosser. This study details the impact of a single, nutrient-rich effluent outfall on the algal community of an intertidal rock platform Analysis Algae Case studies Coastal water pollution Ecosystems Environmental impact Federal issue Great Barrier Reef Interstate comparisons Marine pollution Nitrogen Phosphorus Sewage State issue Notes "State of the environment reporting" At head of title : Environment Australia Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://www.environment.gov.au/soe/1996/publications/technical/pubs/09compen.pdf Commonwealth of Australia 1997 Subject Coastal zone management -- Australia.
