Pollution originating from diffuse and point sources may impact negatively on marine environments, including marine parks. This can have undesirable economic consequences for use and non‐use values, both within and outside the reserved area.
Bioeconomic modelling, where the biophysical and economic components of the marine system are explicitly represented and linked is one method for assessing the ecological and economic outcomes of pollution. Models can be used to determine the magnitude of economic impacts, provide insights into cost‐effective pollution abatement options, help to measure the effectiveness of marine reserves as a buffer against pollution shocks, and examine optimal levels of pollution abatement.
This report provides a literature review of studies that may help inform future bioeconomic modelling of pollution in NSW marine parks. Due to the limited number of Australian studies directly related to this topic (and most of those are focussed on the Great Barrier Reef), a range of other

    The atmospheric processes encountered within the Great Barrier Reef are ultimately responsible for shaping the reef ecosystem. The reef, which lies within Australia’s cyclone zone, is subject to the impacts of cyclones throughout the Australian tropical cyclone season, which extends from the months of November to April. The intensity and duration of these intense low-pressure systems ultimately determines the level of damage inflicted upon the coral. These cyclones are not only associated with strong winds that generate large storm waves that rip apart the softer corals and chip the hard corals, but also bring with them large volumes of rain, which alter the salinity and turbidity levels within the waters. This ecosystem experiences relatively warm temperatures, which range from an average maximum of 30˚C in January and 23˚C in July, and an average minimum of 24˚C in January and 18˚C in July, and an increase of even just a few degrees Celsius can have detrimental impacts on this environment. It is understood that Tropical Cyclone Larry, which crossed the reef on March 2006, surprisingly benefited the reef ecosystem as it led to a reduction in water temperature, which in turn prevented a coral bleaching event that was predicted due to a rise in sea surface temperatures. Hence, the climate and weather systems present…

    The Leeuwin Current

    • 1194 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The Leeuwin Current is a tropical current, consisting of warm, low salinity water that affects Western Australia’s coastal waters and wildlife. Currents are part of a large sub circular current system called a gyre. The currents in the Southern hemisphere gyres circulate in an anti-clockwise direction (Skinner, Porter & Botkin, 1999, p.249). There is a current in each of the major oceans that generally flow northwards along the western coast of continents. However, the Leeuwin Current flows southwards along the coast, before turning eastwards at Cape Leeuwin and then into the Great Australian Bight where its physical and chemical influences reach as far as Tasmania (http://www.marine.csiro.au/Leafletsfolder/44leuwin/44.html). In this essay some of these consequences on the physico-chemical environment will be examined and the possible causes of the Leeuwin Current will be looked at.…

    I don’t know if how many of you know this, but Australia is home of one of the most world renowned coral reefs in the entire world. The name of this coral reef is the Great Barrier Reef it is located parallel to Queensland, Australia and stretches for almost 1430 miles. The Great Barrier Reef is more than just a great tourist attraction it is also home to thousands upon thousands of sea creatures ranging from microscopic plankton to whales and sharks. To list a few numbers relating to Great Barrier Reef animals, the whole reef system supports over 1500 different species of fish, over 4000 different species of mollusk and shellfish, such as clams, crabs and lobster, more than 350 species of hard and soft coral and nearly 200 species of…

    The reef has suffered due to both natural and human activities. Despite being a protected area, the coral reef has been subject to constant exploitation including removal of breeding ornamental fish for the commercial market. The live coral cover was decreased from 47 percent to 13 percent in acoral bleaching event in 1998, induced by the 1998 El Niño. It has been suggested that at least 30-40 percent of the coral reef should be restored in order for it to be capable…
