sont encore inédites.
On compte 284 espèces dont 8 phanérogames marines, et 4 cyanobactéries. Les 272 espèces
d’algues se répartissent en 164 Rhodophyta, 82 Chlorophyta et 26 Ochrophyta.
Resilient community water supply (i.e. a continuously safe and secure supply) is constantly being challenged by limited and fragile water resources at the mercy of natural hazards such as cyclones, droughts, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and the impacts of climate variability and change. Small communities spread over vast distances, and limited human and financial resources to reach out to these communities add to their vulnerability.
This research, conducted by researchers at the University of Technology, Sydney, focused on how the immediate
