The unique ecosystems found in mangrove and saltmarsh communities around Australia face many challenges. Urbanisation, climate change and sea level rise are just three threatening processes but these wetlands thrive in urban environments. An understanding of how urban estuarine wetlands survive will be critical to the development of strategic conservation management in the future.
