| Abstract: | This article reviews recent research into the ecological impacts of recreation and tourism on coastal marine fauna in Australia. It is analyzes the ecological impacts on fauna that are caused by outdoor recreation (including tourism) in Australian coastal marine ecosystems. The author predicts that the single most potentially severe impact of recreation may be the introduction and/or dispersal of non-indigenous species of marine organisms by recreational vessels. Such introductions, together with other impacts due to human activities have the potential to increasingly degrade recreation destinations. etc. |
