Spatial information relevant to species that may be vulnerable in the event of an oil spill in the area has been added to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority’s Oil Spill Response Atlas and all species records added to the DPIPWE Natural Values Atlas.

This method involves the collection of samples two sampling techniques: slow-flowing river edges (dip- net technique) and fast-flowing riffles (kick-net technique). Macroinvertebrates were live-picked from the samples while in the field, preserved in 70% ethanol and later identified in the laboratory to family level or other taxonomic resolutions stipulated in the AUSRIVAS protocol (Tiller & Metzeling 2002). Results were then analysed using the AUSRIVAS software package, which contains predictive models that assess the ecological health of a monitoring reach by comparing its macroinvertebrate community with those of similar undisturbed reaches within the model. Backpack electrofishing was undertaken at four sites using a Smith Root LR-24 backpack electrofisher. Backpack electrofishing consisted of 500 second of ‘power on’ time at each site. Ten bait traps constructed of 2 millimetre mesh with entrance funnels of 40 millimetre in diameter were set overnight at Rocky Valley Creek Downstream site. Bait traps were deployed in depths of 0.25 to 0.5 metres, typically amongst cover of aquatic vegetation or other forms of cover.
