Sydney Harbour Chapter
Sydney Harbour is one of the largest estuaries in Australia and supports a rich diversity of marine life and complex habitat. With over 90% of its shorelines urbanised, fish have had to adapt to different habitats and make a home within the various artificial structures that surround the waterways of Sydney.
Location
The harbour is an inlet of the Tasman Sea (part of the South Pacific Ocean). Sydney Harbour is of huge environmental, economic and recreational importance and immense social and cultural significance, particularly for First Nation peoples. It was first discovered because it has one of the largest estuaries in the world and supports a rich diversity of marine life. Sydney Harbour extends 19 kilometres from the entrance, between North and South Heads, to the most westerly point where the Lane Cove and Parramatta rivers, however, 90% of its shoreline is urbanised, and 50% is bounded by seawalls and other built structures.
Country
The traditional owners and custodians of the local area are known as the Gadigal people.
Meeting
Members meet periodically throughout the year for informal gatherings, discussing projects and enhancements to the lake’s fish habitat. Meeting details, including dates and venues, are communicated to members via email notifications.
