Abstract
Around the coastline of Tasmania are many coastal lagoons of diverse origin and limnological character. Many are in National Parks and most harbour rare and endemic microfauna and microflora. A cluster of lagoons on Bruny Island, off Tasmania' east coast, are of interest as the habitat of the large calanoid copepod Boekella nyoraensis, elsewhere known from only two localities in Victoria. They also contain a rich variety of algae including the endemic dinoflagellate Prorocentrum playfairi. The lagoons have no conservation status and several are threatened with extinction. A preliminary appraisal of the limnological attributes of the lagoons is given here.
