Geological contribution to environmental management of coastal lagoons at Gosford, New South Wales (Australia)
Summary The study, carried out during 1974 and 1975, of four enclosed coastal lagoons was aimed at developing an environmental management plan for the long term preservation of the water quality in a heavily tourist oriented area. Bottom sediment were analysed, four main population identified an their distribution evaluated revealing areas of accelerated soil erosion. Benthonic foraminifera were also considered to recognize water qualities and physico-chemical conditions within the lagoons. Tidal studies in the lagoons showed that there is no tidal influence from he sea except when the lagoons entrances are open. The study revealed that while the lagoons were under stress from urban and agricultural development of the catchments, there was no permanent pollution problem. Evidence of accelerated erosion through development of steep slopes suggested that management of development was necessary. In particular retention or expansion of natural vegetation especially around the lake shores is an essential management procedure to maintain sediment quality and remove part of the pollutants and nutrients before entering the lagoons.
