  • Mary River Catchment Crawl 4 and 5 October 2016
    Mary River Catchment Crawl 4th and 5th October 2016 Catchment crawl participants: Brad Wedlock, Caitlin Mill, Tanzi Smith, Jess Dean, Shaun Fisher, Ian Mackay, Ruth Hutchison, Matt Tattam, Kevin Jackson Introduction During the Mary River Month celebrations, the Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee once again conducted its 8th annual Catchment Crawl on October 4th and 5th, 2016. The Catchment Crawls are designed to provide a snapshot of water quality along the Mary River. Water quality parameters are measured in an effort to gain insight to trends associated with cumulative effects and any other changes along the catchment area. On day one, testing begins in the upper reaches of the catchment, followed by a second day of testing in the lower reaches of the river and its tributaries, right out to the river mouth. A total of 14 freshwater sites were sampled along the main trunk of the Mary River, along with seven sites in several upper and lower tributaries for a total of 21 sites. The tributaries sampled include Six Mile Creek, Widgee Creek, Wide Bay Creek, Munna Creek and Tinana Creek. Sampling occurred across all three local government areas in the catchment. Figure 1 shows a map of all sites sampled during the 2016 catchment crawl. Creek junctions with the Mary River were targeted for sampling in order to gather information on the effects of tributaries flowing into the river. At each sampling site, a standard water test encompassing temperature, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, pH and turbidity was performed. In addition, a sample was taken at each site in accordance with DSITI protocol to be tested for nutrients and total suspended solids.
