		A dominant characteristic of the Huon Gulf and neighboring New Britian Trench region is the presence of deep water relatively close to the coast, high local submarine relief, and associated steep slope gradients.

	CSIRO Marine Research
		The Huon River and its estuary in southeastern Tasmania have supported the mature enterprises of forestry and horticulture since early in the region's settlement.
		The Huon Estuary is a strongly stratified waterway; the Huon River flows consistently throughout the year and drives a two-layer estuarine circulation, with a shallow, fresher layer flowing seaward over a deeper, marine bottom layer moving sluggishly upstream.
		Key environmental issues in the Huon Estuary are associated with the effects and fate of nutrient and organic matter loads from the catchment, from coastal waters, and from activities in the estuary, especially salmon farming.
