Environmental Flows to Estuaries and Coastal Lagoons Shape the Salinity Gradient and Generate Suitable Fish Habitat: Predictions From the Coorong, Australia

Freshwater flows to estuaries shape habitat, transport nutrients to drive productivity, and generate a salinity gradient that impacts water quality and provides spawning cues for fish. The aim of this study was to quantify how environmental flows improved outcomes for a coastal lagoon system (the Co...
