  • Drought Impact on Fish Communities and River Health in the Corangamite Region
    Drought impact on fish communities and river health in the Corangamite Region An isolated pool in Painkalac Creek. Tom Ryan and John McGuckin Report prepared for Corangamite Catchment Management Authority August 2007 Drought impact on fish communities and river health in the Corangamite Region Executive Summary This study provides a rapid assessment of river condition and aims to determine the key issues affecting aquatic health including the relative impact of drought. It is designed to help prioritise potential management actions in the drought response plan. Pre-existing catchment issues, such as water extraction, extensive land clearing and lack of riparian vegetation can directly affect river health and compounds impacts caused directly by drought. Where catchments have been degraded by past management practices, the severity of the drought upon stream health has been the most extreme. Waters examined in this study have been classified into 3 distinct classes of river health, streams with minor stress, streams with moderate stress and streams that have severe stress. Waterways with minor drought stress had lower streamflows than normal as a result of the drought but were in no immediate threat of becoming severely stressed by the drought. Waters classified as having moderate stress are ones in which the existing aquatic fauna is expected to be experiencing some stress, however, the stress is unlikely to have caused the loss of species. Streamflow may have ceased in freshwater reaches and water deterioration may have occurred in remaining refuge habitat, however, the duration of the stress upon aquatic fauna has only been for a relatively short period.

  • Consultation Guide for Salt-Wedge Estuaries Ecological Community
    Assemblage of species associated with open-coast salt-wedge estuaries of western and central Victoria ecological community Consultation Guide The Assemblage of species associated with open-coast salt-wedge estuaries of western and central Victoria was nominated for protection as a nationally listed ecological community under Australia’s national environment law, the EPBC Act. The nomination was accepted in 2013 and a scientific assessment is now under way. This assessment culminates in a Conservation Advice and will: • clarify what kind of estuary is covered by the proposed listing and the name and location of these estuaries; • identify what evidence shows these estuaries to be threatened; and • recommend what can be done to minimise further damage to the ecological community and help restore natural water flow regimes. This guide briefly explains the proposed listing and its implications. The draft scientific assessment, or Conservation Advice, is now available for comment. Your feedback on the proposal to list the ecological community as threatened is welcome. See back page for details of how to get consultation documents and provide your comments.
