释义 |
Beaufort Inlet also locally known as Pallinup Estuary is an inlet located in the Great Southern region of Western Australia about {{convert|130|km|mi|0}} east of Albany. The inlet functions mostly as a result of wave energy and is a wave dominated estuary. The estuary is in a highly modified condition as a result of substantial clearing within the catchment and is eutrophied and prone to fish kills. Covering a total area of {{convert|5.5|km2|sqmi|0}}, with the central basin having an area of {{convert|4.2|km2|sqmi|0}}[1] the inlet is fed with waters from the Pallinup River (Salt River). The inlet holds a volume of {{convert|6500000|m3|ft3|0}} and is enclosed by a {{convert|500|m|ft|0}} long sandbar that opens periodically at intervals of several years.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://dbforms.ga.gov.au/pls/www/npm.ozest.show_mm?pBlobno=9295|title=Estuary Assessment Framework for Non-pristine estuaries - Estuary 640 - Beaufort Inlet|year=2004|accessdate=23 May 2009| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20090523092456/http://dbforms.ga.gov.au/pls/www/npm.ozest.show_mm?pBlobno=9295| archivedate= 23 May 2009 | deadurl= no}} {{coord|34|27|31|S|118|53|23|E|source:enwiki-plaintext-parser|display=title}}{{WesternAustralia-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rivercare.southcoastwa.org.au/infodata/pallinupc/beauforti/beaufort.html|title=South Coast Rivercare - Beaufort Inlet|year=2002|accessdate=15 October 2010}} 3 : Great Southern (Western Australia)|Inlets of Western Australia|South coast of Western Australia |
