摘要

The Gippsland Lakes are one of Australia's most important and highly used estuarine complexes. Development pressures have caused the degradation of many of the Ramsar-listed, brackish-water wetlands that fringe the Gippsland Lakes. Two developments stand out as critically important: i) the creation of a permanent opening to Bass Strait in 1889 at Lakes Entrance; and ii) the increasing extraction of freshwater from the Latrobe, Macalister and Thomson Rivers for use by irrigators and industry and as a supply of potable water for Melbourne. One of the largest of the Ramsar-listed wetlands in the Gippsland Lakes—Dowd Morass—was the subject of an intensive rehabilitation project from 2003 to 2007. lhe project benefited greatly from community involvement, particularly with revegetation efforts and in the re-establishment of more natural wetting and drying regimes. The benefits and limitations of community involvement are discussed, with a focus on community perceptions of wetland values and degradation; the impacts of carp and of exotic weeds are two cases where there was little congruence between the perceptions of community groups and those of professional aquatic ecologists. The wider use of conceptual models is one way to improve understanding and enhance collaboration across different groups in large, multi-disciplinary projects that seek to rehabilitate high-value coastal wetlands.
