28 OCTOBER 2021 | Bug Day Out At Boggy Creek
Richmond River Chapter and Tregeagle Landcare met up at Boggy Creek to share their knowledge of water quality. Boggy Creek flows into the Tuckean Swamp one of the biggest wetlands in coastal New South Wales. Once dubbed ‘Kakadu of the south for its abundant wildlife, the Tuckean was an engine room for fisheries productivity throughout Northern NSW. Boggy Creek has been declining in water quality for many years and OzFish Unlimited is working hard with Landcare groups to look after their local creeks that stream into the Tuckean. Richmond River Project Officer Demara Gates, says that by monitoring water quality, we can work to improve habitat and enjoy better fishing in the future.
