Geoheritage, Figure 3 Levels of geoheritage significance of geological features of and within estuaries and deltas (based on the
approach described by Brocx and Semeniuk (2007) but modified to focus on estuaries and deltas). The examples used to illustrate
nationally significant geoheritage features are deltas (and the estuaries at their mouths) shown in a globally comparative manner.
The examples used to illustrate state-wide/regional significance are barred estuaries (>5 km in size), drawn from Australia and are
shown in a comparative global and national context. The examples used to illustrate local significance are tidal saltmarsh platforms
shown in a context of barred estuaries of southeastern Australia shown in a context of barred estuaries in Australia.
