Abrupt historical change in the nature of a Ramsar Wetland: Seaford Swamp, greater Melbourne, Australia

Seaford Swamp on an overcast day. The water is lined with scrub and taller trees can be seen in the distance. Text invites us to read the open access article in Marine and Freshwater Research titled Abrupt historical change in the nature of a Ramsar Wetland: Seaford Swamp, greater Melbourne, Australia.

Seaford Swamp was once salty due to saltwater inflow from the sea. Agriculture and urban development following European settlement blocked much of this flow.

We might be conserving this swamp near Melbourne all wrong – research shows it wasn’t always freshwater
The Seaford Swamp is a significant freshwater habitat near Melbourne. But for decades the conservation of the swamp may have been misguided.

Sediment cores reveal Seaford Swamp in Victoria was once influenced by the sea, before European settlement transformed it into freshwater. As sea levels rise, what does conservation really mean for this #Ramsar site?
