Australia's Unique South
Southern Australia's marine environments are amongst the most unusual temperate regions of the world.
.		Australia's cool seas operate in quite a different manner to most other temperate marine environments and they support a breathtaking variety of marine plants and animals. Long periods of isolation from other continents, nutrient-poor waters and the southern hemisphere's longest temperate coastline have all contributed to the unusual flora and fauna of Australia's Unique South.
