Murrumbidgee To Get Snagged
In a first for Leeton, and the Murrimbidgee River, volunteers from the OzFish MIA Chapter are about to install new homes for native fish in the Murrumbidgee. The project will see up to 8 large snags installed at key sites within the Murrumbidgee river, providing vital new homes for fish. Historically millions of snags were removed from the Murray-Darling Basin after European settlement. Now local volunteers are pulling together to reinstall the woody habitat and reinvigorate the local ecosystem and is made possible by the OzFish-Landcare NSW partnership with funding support from the NSW Recreational Fishing Trusts.
