Indicator: CO-41 Changes in coastal area under NRM or other environmental plans

Data

Data would need to be systematically collected across all states and local government areas and are not currently available. More systematic collection of data may be possible as a result of the efforts of initiatives such as the national coastal framework, the National Sea Change Task Force, the New South Wales Inquiry in Coastal Infrastructure Provision, the Victorian Coastal Spaces Initiative, and the Moreton Bay Waterways and Catchment Partnership.

What the data mean

No data available.

Data Limitations

No data available.

Issues for which this is an indicator and why

Coasts and Oceans — Societal responses to direct pressures of human activities on coasts and oceans - Societal responses to direct pressures of human activities on the coasts and oceans: Responses to pressures of coastal activities 

National responses take a long time to translate into changes of condition. Although they can translate into changes in both the occurrence and intensity of the pressures in a much shorter time, monitoring prior to their introduction might not have been adequate for any change to show in the data. As response indicators, the fact of introduction of a national plan and strategy provides a date from which change in the pressure and the condition can be monitored.

Other indicators for this issue:

• CO-42 Area/volume/number of coastal lagoons and lakes protected from discharges or where discharges are managed
