The aim of this thesis is to understand how an intergrated assessment using ecosystem function analysis and evaluation can be used to ensure the ecologically sustainable management and wise use of wetlands in northern Australia.

This thesis investigates the management implications of applying function analysis to wetlands in 3 research areas: the Daly River, Mary River and East Alligator River catchments.
