Threatened Flora & Fauna |
|
The Great Sandy Strait is home to a number of rare, vulnerable and endangered species of flora and fauna (See Flora & Fauna), and for some time the protection of these species has been considered a matter of national environmental significance. Such a consideration, however, will be severely compromised if the natural flow of water into the strait is permanently obstructed. Any prevention of the natural equilibrium between fresh and saline water will spell disaster for threatened marine species, and along with them, the nature-based tourism industries of the region.
