25.01.2022 Seagrass restoration - studies that have occured around Australian and New Zealand.

20.01.2022 By 1939, just before the war, people started to question to why the fishing had become more poor. Questions about the links between environmental condition and fishing quality are raised !

16.01.2022 1939 - same year. It is realised that something must be done about correcting past environmental mistakes. Steps need to be taken in the right direction - a vision of an 'Anglers Paradise' at Port Noarlunga. Recreational fishing was an important reason to begin investing in local environmental restoration.

Just put them in a bag & drop... them off at a participating tackle shop & you’ll go into the running to win some great prizes! The major funder of this research is Fisheries Research and Development Corporation FRDC www.pir.sa.gov.au/australian-salmon-research Dr Jason Earl Senior Research Officer, SARDI Aquatic Sciences

03.01.2022 23 new ‘snags’ have been added to the river as part of a successful re-snagging pilot project by the Department for Environment and Water. The project aims to r...ebuild in-stream woody habitat for native fish and other aquatic life. These snags were installed this winter and now there are a total of 47 snags introduced into the River Murray ecosystem. Snag materials came from the Katarapko Floodplain project which was completed in June 2020. Trees removed during construction have been used to create snags that will now provide increased habitat to support bigger populations of aquatic life including native fish, bacteria, algae, micro-organisms and invertebrates. You can see the new snag sites first hand downstream of Lock 3 near Overland Corner and downstream of Lock 4 near Bookpurnong (eastern riverbank). See more

03.01.2022 Nice indication how humans modify environments very easily. I bet Adelaide would look similar with all the development occuring south.
