In 1889 a wall was built to fix the position of a natural channel between the lakes and the ocean at Lakes Entrance. This stabilised the water level, made a harbour for fishing boats and opened the lakes to shipping. This entrance needs to be dredged regularly, or the same process that created the Gippsland Lakes would maker the entrance too shallow for ships to pass through.
Due to the flooding, in 2011, Gippsland Lakes were experiencing bioluminescence.
The lakes support numerous species of wildlife. There are two protected areas: The Lakes National Park and Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park. The Gippsland Lakes wetlands are protected by the international Ramsar Convention on wetlands. There are also approximately 400 indigenous flora species and 300 native fauna species. Three plants, two of them being orchid species, are listed as endangered.
The lakes are home to about 50 Bottlenose dolphin, the Burrunan dolphin ("Tursiops australis").
The wetlands provide habitat for about 20,000 waterbirds. This includes birds from Siberia and Alaska. The lakes have been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because they regularly support over 1% of the global populations of Black Swans, Chestnut Teals and Musk Ducks, as well as many Fairy Terns.
The Gippsland Lakes are, in order of size:
Lake Wellington covers an area of 148.19 square kilometres. It is connected to Lake Victoria by McLennan Strait.
Lake Victoria covers an area of 78.14 square kiolmetres.
Lake King covers an area of 96.84 square kilometres.
Lake Reeve is a long lake, with many salt marshes.
Lake Tyers is not connected to the other Gippsland Lakes, and makes its own entrance to Bass Strait.
The eastern shore of Lake Coleman is part of the Lake Coleman Wildlife Reserve. There is also a small reserve on the western shore called the Lake Coleman West Wildlife Reserve. The reserve covers an area of about 1500 hectares. Most of Lake Coleman is used by the Department of Defence for training purposes.
