    The freshwater dune lakes on Fraser Island are of immense cultural, recreational and environmental value. Acknowledgement of these values contributed significantly to the successful nomination of Fraser Island as a World Heritage Area in 1992.

Put simply, excessive tourist use of the dune lakes on Fraser Island could deleteriously affect their ecology and in turn, their aesthetic appeal to tourists.
