The Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary is a proposed protected area in South Australia to be established by the South Australian (SA) government on the northeast coast of Gulf St Vincent, between Port Parham in the north and the southern end of Barker Inlet in the south, over the period 2014 to 2018 for the purpose of rehabilitating land used as salt pans, protecting habitat for international migratory shorebirds, managing water quality in adjoining parts of Gulf St Vincent, creation of ‘green’ space, development of niche tourism and creation of opportunities for indigenous people. This very low-gradient, low-energy coastline, containing a broad lateral extent of subtidal seagrass meadows, intertidal mangroves and supratidal saltmarshes and salinas, extends from the Adelaide metropolitan area as far as the head of Gulf St Vincent, and is also known as the "Samphire Coast". The coastline north of Port Parham, outside the proposed sanctuary, also has a high degree of protection through being in the Port Wakefield Proof and Experimental Establishment, and the Clinton Conservation Park. ==The proposal== The Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary is a proposed protected area to be established by the SA government for the northeast coast of Gulf St Vincent extending from Adelaide to its immediate north with the view of achieving the five key outcomes: *Protection of habitat particularly used by shorebirds that migrate over large extents of the Earth’s surface.〔DEWNR, 2014, page 7〕〔DEWNR, 2014, page 11〕 *Management of water quality in Gulf St Vincent particularly in respect to stormwater and wastewater produced in the northern suburbs of Adelaide and its treatment prior to release into Gulf St Vincent.〔 *Creation of ‘green’ space 'on the fringes of the northern Adelaide Plains that will allow stormwater recycling, absorb carbon dioxide and enhance the amenity and attractiveness of the region'.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
