Abstract

The Sydney Estuary is the focal point of the intensely developed city of Sydney. Since European settlement in 1788 the waterway has undergone many changes, including reclamation, contamination, modified fresh-water flow regimes and altered rates of sedimentation. The various alterations and their impact on the system is the focus of this chapter. Research undertaken over the past thirty years identified the threat of contamination on estuary health. This issue came to a head in 2006 with the closure of the Sydney commercial fin fish and prawn industries due to high concentrations of dioxins detected in fish and prawn tissue. Improved understanding of the impact of different chemicals on estuarine species has led to changes in policy and practices within the waterway and adjacent catchment. Despite better practices contaminants continue to be supplied to the estuary via the complex stormwater network draining the surrounding highly urbanised catchment. Stormwater runoff represents the major contemporary source of estuary contamination. Recent field and numerical investigations show that in order to reduce contaminant concentrations stormwater runoff must treated before being discharged into the waterway. Due to the hydrodynamic behaviour of this geometrically complex waterway rather than rapidly flushing out of the estuary to the open ocean contaminants supplied via stormwater runoff become entrained down the water column and settle on the estuary bed. Whilst many improvements have been made to address processes affecting estuary health, continued monitoring of contaminant concentrations within estuary waters, bed sediments and species are required to determine the success of past management strategies and to better inform decisions about the future management of this highly prized waterway.
