     Outcomes - Waterways, wetlands and coasts

     A.   Water quality, riparian areas and catchment health is protected and improved
          by partnering with landholders and stakeholders to actively manage and
          rehabilitate priority stream reaches.
     B.   Aquatic biodiversity is improved through the preservation and enhancement
          of diverse instream, riparian and wetland habitats.
     C.   The physical processes and dynamics of our rivers, wetlands, groundwater
          and coasts are well understood to support effective long-term management
          options.
     D.   Waterways, wetlands and coastal environments are protected, managed and
          maintained in their natural state, and are enhanced to support healthy and
          diverse ecosystems.
     E.   Recreational and commercial fishing is managed in a sustainable way so
          there is no long-term decline in fish abundance and diversity.
     F.   Point source and diffuse pollution is identified and effectively managed to
          reduce impacts on waterways, wetlands and coasts.
     G.   The quality and quantity of groundwater, surface water and wastewater
          discharge is optimised to minimise impacts to receiving waters, aquatic
          ecosystems and human health.
     H.   The impacts of human use are carefully managed to protect ecosystem
          health and visual amenity, as well as to ensure the sustainable use of
          waterways and foreshores for residents, visitors and commercial operators.
     I.   Noosa Council works effectively with all agencies with management
          responsibilities for waterways, wetlands and coastal areas.
