Abstract
This chapter focuses on cross-border management issues for two contrasting types of wetlands: Lake Urmia in Iran – an inland lake, and coastal intertidal wetlands in Australia. It provides an overview of each wetland, followed by the discussion of cross-boundary issues, pressures and threats mostly related to development and associated activities. The chapter examines an analysis of cross-border management initiatives with an emphasis on options and collaboration across ecological and administrative boundaries is provided to elicit potential solutions. The focal ecological system is the intertidal zone occupying the relatively narrow and linear coastal interface between land and sea and crossing administrative and political borders. Mosquito control has impacts beyond borders: locally and regionally it affects mosquito populations and habitats in nearby contiguous areas; if control is carried out in wetlands protected by international agreement its effects may have consequences at the national level.
