Waterway Fire Science
The Black Summer Bushfires of 2019-20 ravaged the east coast of Australia at an unprecedented scale and ferocity and was followed by high rainfall, dealing our precious and unique waterways with a devastating blow. Waterway Fire Science Project is a citizen science initiative in NSW which will determine how our waterways, fish habitat, and fish populations are recovering following the impact of bushfires.
