Awesome to see lots of Rakali in Moon Moon Swamp, east of Booligal in the Lachlan, NSW! Rakali do an amazing job of preying on invasive species like carp, and #WaterForTheEnvironment is delivered to many wetlands across the Basin to support their habitat. @UC_CAWS

Featuring in at least 5 talks & mentioned in several others, the #LachlanRiverSystem certainly made its mark on the #FreshwaterDownUnder conference.

Great presentations from @UC_CAWS PhD candidates Alana Cormican Alana Cormican and Kishor Maharjan Kishor Maharjan on the management implications of their research to the Lachlan Environmental Water Advisory Group today Environmental Water Will Higgisson @ProfRossatUC

A chance discovery of one of the Murray-Darling Basin’s endangered fish - the Olive perchlet - has been made in the lower Lachlan. 🐟 In mid-2023, fish ecologist Dr Adam Kerezsy stumbled upon a healthy population of perchlet. ow.ly/eOsZ50PzbYc

Until recently, only a single population of Olive perchlet was known from the Lachlan River. 🐟 Thanks to the @FlowMERProgram, read more about an exciting discovery for this threatened species! ⬇️ bit.ly/3FUmo8q @UC_CAWS

Highlight photos from the 'Down The Track' local youth program in the Lachlan region. This program hosts multiple camps and education days, encouraging school kids to learn about ecological surveying and outdoor education. Read more: ow.ly/6Fk850QoBXt

**AFSS 2024!! SAVE THE DATE: 2 - 6 DECEMBER 2024** We are excited to announce that the 2024 Australian Freshwater Sciences Society meeting will take place from 2nd - 6th December in Albury-Wodonga, NSW. Venue: Albury Entertainment Centre, 525 Swift St, Albury NSW 2640

A class free week or field trip week? In Week 8, our Enviro sci students ventured out to the great outdoors for their classes! Here's a few snaps from the Applied Ecology field trip to Laurel Hill, NSW. University of Canberra Will Higgisson Darren Giling @UC_CAWS

Another great Down the Track Environmental Ed. Weekend at Lake Cargelligo learning how and why we monitor fish, waterbugs and vegetation as part of the The Flow-MER Program @UC_CAWS.

Researchers at @UC_CAWS are using aerial drones to monitor the native shrub lignum in the Murray-Darling Basin. After feeding drone-captured images into a machine learning model, they can assess lignum’s response to environmental water management. bit.ly/4bcRkhX #UniCBR

Exploring lignum shrubland prior to the arrival of environmental water in the lower Lachlan - including pulling a few cars out! @UC_CAWS The Flow-MER Program Angus Macdonald

Plants – the silent heroes! Our science program, The Flow-MER Program, found: - Without #WaterForTheEnvironment we would stop seeing up to 40 species of plants in parts of the Basin - 748 CEWH watering actions that have targeted plants since 2014-15. flow-mer.org.au/flow-mer-frida…
