Introduction
The influence of Anthropogenic has rapidly changed the ecosystem of bay-delta over the
past 150 years. Environment management plays an integral role in the protection of the
environment as well as public health (Staley, Kean, Cannon, Schmidt, and Laber, 2013). The
expectations of stakeholders and other business has increased from businesses and other public
sector organization and they want them to be able to reveal that they are sensibly handling the
impacts of environmental of their activities. Jervis Bay is the 102 square kilometer oceanic bay
and village which is situated in the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. The resident of
Jervis Bay is in fear their territory will be taken over by tourists and the native vegetation of
them can be spoiled if the ACT is successful in managing responsibility for the area back to
NSW. It is the report which will focus on the various environmental challenges of Jervis Bay
Territory.

Environment management challenges in Jervis Bay
The region of Jervis Bay is situated in an overlap between the northern and southern
climate zones. It has been analyzed that the range of habitats involve bay waters of varying
depths, oceanic waters, ancient and recent dune system, coastal cliffs, forests, swamps, intertidal
rock platforms, perched lakes and estuarine waters. Climate change and the delta ecosystem is
the most horrible change which can destroy almost surroundings of it.
Climate change impacts in the Jervis Bay
The challenges of climate change are wider to confront the environment management and
restoration of the Jervis Bay. The potential amendments in the climate and its variability are
anticipated to profoundly affect the ecosystem and its physical and ecological structure along
with the nature of water problems in Australia. The conditions of climate and variety of habitats
are able to create an extremely rich and varied array of spices of wildlife both on the land and in
the sea. It has been evaluated that there is a degree of uncertainty in the context of climate
change which may influence the value of cultural, economic and natural of Jervis Bay. Hyder
consulting is made a report on behalf of the Australian Government about the influence of
climate change in the protected areas of Australia. As per the Hyder Consulting, the expectation
of rising of CO2 levels to rise by 165 PPM until 2030 and 365 until 2070. This would be liable to
increase the temperature of 1.3°C respectively 4.0°C, it would lead Jervis Bay to increase 35°C
by 3 days in 2030. There are impacts of climate change mentioned below in the context of Jervis
Bay.
