Australian Stream Management Conference
The 11th Australian Stream Management Conference was recently held in Victor Harbor with more than 200 delegates in attendance from across Australia. Science Program Manager Nick Whiterod delivered the plenary presentation provided insight into the future of freshwater species: how do we collectively overcome the challenges facing Australia’s freshwater species. Drawing on his more than 20 years of experience, Nick outlined the current status and trajectories, and what actions are critically needed as we collectively attempt to help conserve as many of Australia’s freshwater species. The presentation challenged all of us to to do more collectively to protect and conserve Australia’s freshwater species, which are increasingly at risk of extinction due to wide ranging threats.
The presentation will be recorded and available on the CLLMM RC YouTube channel. Stay posted!
