In May 2004 the Native Fish Strategy for the Murray-Darling Basin was released by the Chairman of the Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council. This Strategy is designed to bring communities and governments together to enhance native fish populations throughout the Basin over the next 50 years. The central purpose of the Annual Implementation Report is to provide a framework for the reporting of national and State progress towards implementation of the Strategy. Throughout the first year of the Strategy much effort has been focussed on developing the mechanisms for implementing the Strategy. This includes finalising the establishment of the Fish Management and Science Committee and the Community Stakeholder Group, and the employment of State-based Native Fish Strategy Coordinators. However, some on-ground works, management action and research are also underway. On-ground achievements include the construction of vertical slot fishways at Locks 7 and 8, and a Denil fishway at Lock 15, and commencement of the construction of several prototype fishways at the barrages. The Community Stakeholder Group finished a Communication Plan for the Native Fish Strategy, one of the key documents underpinning the Strategy. Over the year, considerable progress was made in the development of a new venture, the ‘Demonstration Reach Concept’. This will entail the rehabilitation of an entire reach to demonstrate the benefits of an integrated program that addresses all the major threats to native fish populations. Various research programs have already begun to yield encouraging results, including resnagging downstream of Yarrawonga, and the “carp separation cage”. The first year of the Strategy has been successful in setting up a way forward for native fish management over the next 50 years. Future Native Fish Strategy Annual Implementation Reports will continue to track the progress made by each of the jurisdictions in native fish management, as well that made by the Commission itself. The cooperation of State and Territory Governments was greatly appreciated in the preparation of this document.
