Figure 1 Level of concern over pressures affecting the coast, as reported by Australian coastal local government areas
Figure 2 Assessments of the impact, trend, outlook and management of pressures to the coastal environment, by Australian coastal local government areas
Figure 3 Assessments of the condition of coastal environmental components, at local, regional and national scales
Diagram showing that on a national scale the assessments for threatened species, birds, salt marshes and mangroves are very poor and only crocodiles come out as very good.

Note: National assessments were provided by academic domain experts, while local and regional assessments were provided by Traditional Owners and local government areas. Points are jittered to show that some quantities were measured many times.
