Abstract

Freshwater and estuarine ecosystems are among the most threatened in the world, are under-represented in protected areas and have the highest portion of species threatened with extinction. Freshwater biodiversity is particularly threatened because its conservation depends on: maintaining hydrological processes; retaining longitudinal connectivity of water flows without barriers along rivers; conserving lateral connectivity between a water body and its floodplain; sustaining adequate groundwater-surface water interactions; managing exogenous threats that are propagated across catchments; and integrating governance by multiple management authorities. Within protected areas particular attention should be given to: minimising impacts of water infrastructure, invasive species incursion control; reducing impacts of visitor facilities and activities, and pollution prevention
