Environment

Eurobodalla Shire's 83 beaches, four major river systems and lakes, and many islands and estuaries are all occupied by a rich variety of sea, bird and animal life. Our 110 kilometres of coastline includes the Batemans Marine Park and 3,400 square kilometres of land. More than 80 per cent of the land is either national park or state forest.

Our natural environment supports diverse ecosystems including mangroves, salt marshes and sea grasses. Eurobodalla is also home to many threatened species and endangered ecological communities, including flying-foxes.
