Mathematics & Sciences; The environment

The south-east Queensland region is currently experiencing the most rapid urbanisation in Australia. This

growth in human population, industry and infrastructure puts pressure on the unique and diverse natural

environment of Moreton Bay. Much loved by locals and holiday-goers, Moreton Bay is also an important

biogeographic region because its coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangroves and saltmarshes, provide a supportive

environment for both tropical and temperate species. The bay supports a large number of species of global

conservation significance, including marine turtles, dugongs, dolphins, whales, and migratory shorebirds,

which use the area for feeding or breeding.

Environmental History and Ecology of Moreton Bay provides an interdisciplinary examination of Moreton

Bay, increasing understanding of existing and emerging pressures on the region and how these may be

mitigated and managed. With chapters on the bay's human uses by Aboriginal peoples and later settlers, its

geology, water quality, marine habitats and animal communities, and commercial and recreational fisheries,

this book will be of value to students in the marine sciences, environmental consultants, policy-makers, and

recreational fishers alike.
