  • Hydro 4 Water Storage
    TERM OF REFERENCE 3: STATE-WIDE WATER STORAGE MANAGEMENT The causes of the floods which were active in Tasmania over the period 4-7 June 2016 including cloud-seeding, State-wide water storage management and debris management. 1 CONTEXT 1.1 Cause of the Floods (a) It is clear that the flooding that affected northern Tasmania (including the Mersey, Forth, Ouse and South Esk rivers) during the relevant period was directly caused by “a persistent and very moist north-easterly airstream” which resulted in “daily [rainfall] totals [that were] unprecedented for any month across several locations in the northern half of Tasmania”, in some cases in excess of 200mm.1 (b) This paper addresses Hydro Tasmania’s water storage management prior to and during the floods. 1.2 Overview (a) In 2014, Tasmania celebrated 100 years of hydro industrialisation and the role it played in the development of Tasmania. Hydro Tasmania believes that understanding the design and purpose of the hydropower infrastructure that was developed to bring electricity and investment to the state is an important starting point to provide context for our submission. The Tasmanian hydropower system design and operation is highly complex and is generally not well understood in the community. We understand that key stakeholder groups are seeking to better understand the role that hydropower operations may have in controlling or contributing to flood events in Tasmania. (b) The hydropower infrastructure in Tasmania was designed and installed for the primary purpose of generating hydro-electricity. Flood mitigation was not a primary objective in the design of Hydro Tasmania’s dams when the schemes were developed, and any flood mitigation benefit is a by-product of their hydro- generation operation.

  • 2021 Coastal Recreational Fishing Digest
    Time for Fishin’ Shake off that Cabin Fever and Go Fishing! There is no better way to shake off the doldrums than to commune with nature. And one of the best ways to commune with nature is to go fishing. To prepare you for this endeavor, the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries has published this 2021 Coastal Recreational Fishing Digest. Funded by Coastal Recreational Fishing License sales, this digest is meant to give anglers information they need to fish responsibly as well as interesting articles about the division’s recreational fishing programs. New in this digest is an article explaining why fishermen may need to become a little more tech savvy than in previous years. Also, a new article discusses drone fishing. As in the past, this year’s digest contains fishing license options, fishing best practices, information on how to identify and measure fish, and a table with recreational size and bag limits and seasons. Because marine fisheries regulations are subject to change frequently, anglers should check the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries’ website at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/mf/recreational-fishing-size-and-bag-limitsfor the most up-to-date fishing regulations. Watch Out for These Changes this Year: Flounder season was scheduled to close by April 30. A short season may open in the fall. The 2021 recreational flounder season will open Aug. 16 and close Sept. 30 for internal and ocean waters of the state. A one-week season was held in the upper Roanoke, and a one-week season was held in the lower Roanoke, both in April 2021.

Preface The St Clair Quadrangle, to which this report refers, contains the southern continuation of the glaciated region already surveyed in the Du Cane Quadrangle immediately to the north. Like the Du Cane Quadrangle, the St Clair Quadrangle has little mineral wealth but much to interest the bushwalker, and in addition, its easier access brings it within the range of the tourist. Indeed, a large part of the State's biggest scenic reserve, the Cradle Mountaln­ Lake St Clair National Park, occurs in this Quadrangle. Economically, the chief interest is centered in peculiarities of topography and drainage, enabling development of natural and artificial storage lakes to assist in t he production of hydro-electricity so necessary for industrial expansion. The St Clair Map Sheet presents a wide range of interesting studies for a variety of geologists including especially those inter~ ested in geomorphology and engineering, and it is to be hoped that this report will be followed by fUrther study.

Follow these procedures to minimize injury to fish: • Barbless hooks must be used. • Do not use a tailer. • When using a landing net, use one with knotless mesh, as it is less harmful to fish scales, gills and eyes. • A leader tip should be heavy enough to bring in large salmon quickly, or light enough to allow large salmon to break off. • Move to a quiet water location. • Bring the fish quickly into reach, or break it off after a couple of runs. • Do not beach the salmon; keep the entire salmon underwater as much as possible. • Handle the salmon gently; do not squeeze the fish and avoid touching the gills and eyes. Loss of scales and damage to the gills caused by pressure on the gills or by removal from the water are the most serious injuries a salmon can suffer. • Remove the hook gently with pliers or with your thumb and forefinger. If the hook must be left in, cut the leader as close to it as possible. • Support the fish under the belly, keeping it in an upright position, underwater and facing into the current.

  • DRAFT Tasmanian Inland Recreational Fishery Management Plan 2018-28
    DRAFT Tasmanian Inland Recreational Fishery Management Plan 2018-28 DRAFT Tasmanian Inland Recreational Fishery Management Plan 2018-28 Minister’s message It is my pleasure to release the Draft Tasmanian Inland Recreational Fishery Management Plan 2018-28 as the guiding document for the Inland Fisheries Service in managing this valuable resource on behalf of all Tasmanians for the next 10 years. The plan creates opportunities for anglers, improves access, ensures sustainability and encourages participation. Tasmania’s tradition with trout fishing spans over 150 years. It is enjoyed by local and visiting anglers in the beautiful surrounds of our State. Recreational fishing is a pastime and an industry; it supports regional economies providing jobs in associated businesses and tourism enterprises. A sustainable trout fishery ensures ongoing benefits to anglers and the community as a whole. To achieve sustainable fisheries we need careful management of our trout stocks, the natural values that support them and measures to protect them from diseases and pest fish. This plan simplifies regulations where possible by grouping fisheries whilst maintaining trout stocks for the future. Engagement and agreements with land owners and water managers will increase access and opportunities for anglers. The Tasmanian fishery caters for anglers of all skill levels and fishing interests. This plan helps build a fishery that provides for the diversity of anglers and the reasons they choose to fish.
