Jervis Bay Territory Environment and Heritage
Environment
The Jervis Bay region lies in an overlap between the northern and southern climatic zones. The range of habitats include: oceanic waters, bay waters of varying depths, intertidal rock platforms and beaches, estuarine waters, recent and ancient dune systems, coastal cliffs, heaths, forests, swamps and perched lakes.
The climatic conditions together with a variety of habitats have created an extremely rich and varied array of wildlife species both on the land and in the sea.
