How about an eco-efficient estuary?

Greens candidate Peter Freewater made some informed comments regarding the estuary in Peninsula News edition 198.

He commented that the constricted entrance means less tidal flushing, meaning that the volume of water flowing in the Ettalong channel has an influence on Brisbane Water.

This minor matter was overlooked at the council meetings on August 26, when discussion was limited to the ingress and egress of marine vessels in the Ettalong channel.

As Peter Freewater indicated, there are other issues to consider apart from navigation in the channel.

The health of the estuary depends on a certain quantity of quality water flowing in the channel.

How much impact does an eco-efficient estuary have on health, tourism, recreation and administration?

Perhaps Peter Freewater can enlighten your readers.
