    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 91: 155–161, 2008 Fishes and freshwater crayfishes of major catchments of the Leschenault Estuary: Preston and Brunswick River, including first record of a freshwater gudgeon (Eleotridae) from south-western Australia D L Morgan1 & S J Beatty2 1 Centre for Fish & Fisheries Research, Murdoch University, South St, Murdoch, WA 6150. [email protected] 2 Centre for Fish & Fisheries Research, Murdoch University, South St, Murdoch, WA 6150. [email protected] Manuscript received September 2007; accepted February 2008 Abstract A paucity of information exists on the fish and crayfish communities of two major rivers that flow into the Leschenault Inlet, south-western Western Australia. This study documents these communities and assesses their ecological significance. During February 2006, seven sites were sampled for fish and freshwater crayfish on each of the Brunswick River and Preston River with additional sites having been previously sampled in the summer of 1999/2000. The rivers generally had similar native fish communities with four endemic species, Freshwater Cobbler, Western Minnow, Western Pygmy Perch and Nightfish making up 60% of all fish captures (2670) with the remaining being from three feral freshwater and six estuarine species. Two native species of freshwater crayfish were also recorded, the Marron and Gilgie. The endemic Western Minnow and Western Pygmy Perch were the most common and widespread native fish species in both rivers. This study recorded what appears to be the Empire Gudgeon in the Preston River; the first record of this northern Australian species in the South-west Drainage Division, and its presence was attributed either to marine larval drift or as a result of an aquarium release.

  • Australia's National Programme of Action for the Protection of The
    case study 21: the geographe bay region 2 Australia’s National Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-Based Activities case study 21: the geographe bay region executive summary The Geographe Bay region, like many other Western Australian coastal areas, is facing the stress of excess nutrient loading to the coastal waterways and the adjacent marine ecosystem. Also like several other regions, the symptoms of this are the highly damaging toxic algal blooms that occur frequently in the fresh and estuarine waters of the region, and the major impacts for agriculture, tourism, public health and biodiversity. These issues were first recognised in the Geographe Bay region in the 1990s, and a community-led process was initiated to develop and implement an integrated catchment management plan designed to reduce nutrient inputs and restore environmental values to their former levels. The catchment management plan is now implemented by Geographe Catchment Council (GeoCatch), a small community-based organisation established for this purpose. The catchment management plan is a voluntary instrument designed to re-orient rural and urban management practices towards more desirable objectives through education and awareness raising, through demonstrated examples of best practice, and through promotion of specific measures for adoption by local and state government agencies. A large number of important strategies have been developed and implemented, and new strategies are being developed. However, although the catchment management plan provides for monitoring and evaluation to be conducted, there appear to be very few examples that demonstrate the success of the plan in facilitating improved catchment health (such as by reducing nutrient loading to rivers or the bay).

Not only is cycling proven to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality, it also helps to create more vibrant and welcoming communities. Cycling can facilitate new forms of industry (such as cycle-tourism) and more generally, it enables people to live happier, healthier and more active lives. Fundamentally, increasing cycling mode share is about improving quality of life – something that is critical for attracting and retaining people in regional areas. The key to increasing cycling mode share is The Leeuwin-Naturaliste 2050 Cycling Strategy will providing infrastructure which is not only safe help inform future investment through the Regional and convenient, but also competitive against Bicycle Network Grants Program and potentially other modes of transport. To achieve this, cycling other funding sources. needs to be prioritised ahead of other modes in In developing this strategy, extensive consultation appropriate locations and integrated with adjoining has been undertaken with key stakeholders and land use.

  • Rural Drainage Networks Vasse Taskforce | May 2015 |
    Government of Western Australia Department of Water Factsheet: 3 Rural drainage networks Vasse Taskforce | May 2015 | Major drainage works in the Geographe Catchment commenced in the 1880s when the Capel River was diverted away from the Wonnerup Estuary into Geographe Bay through the Higgins cut. Over the past 100 years drainage works including the construction of surge barriers on the Vasse and Wonnerup estuaries, a network of small drains to remove water from farmland, river diversions and a series of large arterial drains, including the Vasse diversion drain, were undertaken. This has significantly altered the hydrology of the catchment. The drainage system enabled farming on the coastal plain that was previously inundated during winter and protected the growing town of Busselton from flooding. The combined effect of catchment clearing and major drainage works, however, also substantially reduced the capacity of the catchment to retain sediment and nutrients, greatly increasing nutrients and organic matter entering catchment waterways and Geographe Bay. The Water Corporation is the lead asset manager for the rural drainage network and will work closely with the Department of Water, which will lead the implementation of projects to improve water quality in catchment waterways through improved management of the rural drainage network. Key initiatives include: • new catchment water, flood and landform model • feasibility study into reconnecting rivers • drainage management plan Project Spotlight New catchment water, flood and landform model A range of options for improving water quality in waterways in the Geographe catchment has been raised over a number of years. This project will develop a whole of catchment water model and develop an estuarine model for the Vasse estuary to assess the feasibility of these and new innovative options for changing water flow in the catchment.
