Climate change is likely to lead to reduced river inflows to estuaries which can lead to oxygen depletion and major changes in nutrient cycling. This project will help inform the public and policy makers about the role of environmental flows in maintaining estuarine function, and thus guide future decisions on environmental flow requirements in the Yarra River Estuary. The benefits of this understanding will also flow on to improved understanding and management of nitrogen loads to Port Phillip Bay. This project will form a close collaborative partnership between Monash University, Melbourne Water and the EPA. This collaboration will ensure the integration of cutting edge science with innovative management regimes

气候变化可能导致流入河口的河流减少，这可能导致氧气消耗和养分循环的重大变化。该项目将帮助公众和决策者了解环境流量在维持河口功能中的作用，从而指导未来对亚拉河河口环境流量要求的决策。这种理解的好处也将流向改善对菲利普湾港氮负荷的理解和管理。该项目将在莫纳什大学、墨尔本水务和环境保护局之间形成密切的合作伙伴关系。这种合作将确保尖端科学与创新管理制度的结合
