Coastal sensitivity to environmental change : a view from the beach
initiated a process of internal re-organisation that, because of an inherent sensitivity to sea level change and low thresholds for the forcing of change, fundamentally restricts future management options. The paper also attempts to show that hard rock
coasts are also responsive to particular types of event on short time scales and examples are discussed that modify the accepted view of hard rock insensitivity to environmental change.

Agriculture production is based mostly on the wheat - pasture and wheat - lupin biennal rotations. These crops are cultivated on lands cleared from the native Eucalyptus forest. The change of vegetation types has caused serious environmental
problems. The current agriculture production system is unsustainable, and the government fails to indicate possible integrated and sustainable solutions. The environmental problems can be solved only by the diversification of agriculture production.
