Does this mean that your coalition is for the restoration of the Lower Lakes and Coorong as an estuary? Our group www.lakesneedwater.org also supports increased water flow to the river. We also support getting more freshwater for the environment. But we cannot turn our backs on the simple fact that the barrages have created an artificial freshwater ecosystem at the expense of an estuarine ecosystem. Continuing to claim there is freshwater when there is none is only delaying what needs to be done.
