Check out the pictures in this newsletter. We had a lovely party at Marty’s house for Australia Day. Ray Winterfield brought his guitar and we had a sing -a-long. We shared good food and fun. Another “no cost” function to members. We, again, had a really memorable Coral Sea celebration. This is so important to our association and the other associations which help us remember the connection with Australia and America. My only wish is that more of our members would take part and share this auspicious occasion with us. Check the newsletter pictures. We have said “Good-bye” to Nancy and Bill Schaff as they have moved to Hawaii. They always came to functions, gave good support for ideas and helped when needed. We will miss them but wish them all the best. Dr. Lage is still on her travels back and forth across the US. From the reports I have heard, she is enjoying herself very much.

  • Adelaide Coastal Waters Information Sheet No. 3
    Adelaide Coastal Waters Information Sheet No. 3 Changes in urban environments Issued August 2009 EPA 769/09: This information sheet is part of a series of Fact Sheets on the Adelaide coastal waters and the findings of the Adelaide Coastal Waters Study (ACWS). Introduction Since European settlement in the 1830s, the Adelaide plains and Adelaide’s coastal environment have been subject to considerable change and pressure from a continually increasing population. In recent years there has been growing community concern about the effects of coastal and catchment development on the marine environment. Increases in stormwater flows and waste from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have also been of concern. Nutrients and other pollutants introduced to Adelaide’s nearshore waters from urban and rural runoff, WWTPs and some industrial sources have been found by the Adelaide Coastal Waters Study (ACWS) to have had a negative impact on Adelaide’s nearshore marine environment, including the loss of over 5,000 hectares of seagrass. Historical catchment changes When Adelaide was selected by Colonel William Light for South Australia’s state capital in 1836 there was a wide belt of coastal dunes and wide sandy beaches stretching to the north and south of Glenelg. From Seacliff to Outer Harbor there was a 30 km stretch of sand dunes broken only by the Patawalonga Creek at Glenelg. The Torrens River flowed into a series of swamps lying behind the coastal dunes and drained both north and south to the sea through the Patawalonga Creek and Port River system. The stretch of sand dunes comprised two or more parallel ridges each about 70 to 100 metres wide separated by narrow depressions or swales, consequently very little surface catchment runoff would have reached the coastline.

As a part of this study, Tonkin Consulting have been commissioned to undertake modelling of the impacts of climate change on tidal and storm water flooding around the most vulnerable coastal locations in the Western Region. The investigation has been undertaken in three stages. Stage 1 of the project involved a scoping investigation to identify key assets at highest risk of inundation as a result of climate change.

  • Water Quality of the Port River Estuary — a Community Summary
    Water Quality of the Port River Estuary — a community summary Government of South Australia INTRODUCTION In September 1995, the EPA began a long-term program to monitor water quality in the Port River estuary. The estuary consists of the Port River, North Arm, Outer Harbor and the Angas and Barker inlets. It is a biologically diverse aquatic ecosystem, supporting extensive saltmarshes, mangrove stands and seagrass beds. This provides varied habitats for many species of birds, fish, crustaceans, and other marine invertebrates, making the estuary an important natural asset. The EPA collects water samples monthly from nine sites across the estuary, measuring 21 different parameters in five categories—nutrients, water clarity, heavy metals, chlorophyll (algae) and microbiology. Water quality data is categorised as good, moderate or poor using a classification system based on national water quality guidelines. The EPA’s first Port River report summarised data from September 1995 to December 1996 (EPA, 1997a), and found the water quality to be mainly Dept. Environment and Heritage Survey 5573 – Oct 1998 Dept. Environment poor to moderate. Aerial view of the Port River estuary This brochure summarises a new report, Ambient water quality in the Port River estuary September 1995–August 2000. Once again, water quality was shown to be poor to moderate for many parameters—only 51% of classifications were good, 31% were moderate, and 18% were poor. Outer Harbor was the best site, with 71% of the parameters classified as good. The five categories analysed Nutrients High nutrient concentrations can lead to excessive algal and plant growth, causing fish deaths and smothering seagrasses and other plants.
