  • Lower Darling River Resnagging 2020, NSW

    The Lower Darling River is one of the outback’s most loved waterways and it’s home to many of our favourite native fish. Sadly, it has had a significant amount of instream fish habitat removed over the past 200 years which, in combination with other factors, has left fish populations vulnerable.

    After the devastation of the 2019 Darling River fish kills, our native fish populations need the right river conditions to recover. Whilst this does mean the return of an appropriate flow regime, improved in-stream habitat will give fish a much needed helping

  • Wambuul Macquarie, NSW

    The once-thriving native fish population within the Wambuul-Macquarie River, boasting species such as the Macquarie perch, Murray cod, silver perch, trout cod, and freshwater catfish, now faces a grim reality.

  • Tarcutta Creek, NSW

    Tarcutta Creek is a southern tributary of the Murrumbidgee River Catchment had suffered for years. It was when the eroding banks significantly reduced the remaining fish habitat by undermining the overhanging bank vegetation and smothering snags and microhabitats nearby with sediment that OzFish Wagga Chapter wanted to help.
