Coffin Bay (South Australia) is experiencing worsening environmental conditions despite its major economic and ecological importance. Research is needed to understand the cause of this decline, particularly in light of a recent bacterial outbreak that impacted the aquaculture industry. This multidisciplinary project aims to deliver world-leading scientific advice based on novel field techniques and innovative models of this complex inverse estuary system and its surrounding catchment. The new understanding of the sources, fluxes and fate of nutrients within the bay and the surrounding catchment, arising from this project, is expected to benefit management decision-making and establish a new standard in estuarine water quality investigation.

棺材湾（南澳大利亚）尽管经济和生态重要性很重要，但仍经历了恶化的环境状况。需要研究以了解这种下降的原因，特别是鉴于最近一次细菌爆发影响了水产养殖业。这个多学科的项目旨在根据这种复杂的反向河口系统及其周围的集水区的新现场技术和创新模型提供世界领先的科学建议。预计该项目在海湾和周围的集水区中对来源，通量和命运的新理解预计将受益于管理决策，并在河口水质调查中建立新的标准。
