Estuary Program

Within the Bega Valley Shire there are twenty five estuaries. These estuaries are arguably the Shires premier natural assets and have vital ecological, recreational, social and environmental values. There is a unique diversity of estuary types represented within Bega Valley Shire; ranging from large riverine estuaries (Bega & Bermagui Rivers), large coastal lakes (Wallaga, Merimbula and Pambula lakes) and small ICOLL’s ( Baragoot Lake, Middle Lake and Bournda Lagoon). >>more
