"This study was undertaken to increase knowledge of estuarine processes in tropical, macrotidal coasts. It was also done to understand the implications for managing 'sea-change' development in a little known area of the Australian-Pacific zone. The study area is the Capricorn Coast: a newly expanding site that interfaces with the Great Barrier Reef lagoon and lies adjacent to the Fitzroy: the largest Australian river flowing into the Pacific" -- Abstract.
