Flows, fish and connectivity

This talk will explore work undertaken through Flow-MER examining basin-scale flow regimes and hydrological connectivity. This will set the context for a discussion about fish outcomes from the use of environmental water over nine survey years (2014–23). Current findings and learnings about flows, fish and connectivity from the Basin-scale evaluation will also be shared.

Fish and flows in the MDB: Learnings from the Fish Theme Basin-Scale Evaluation

The Basin-scale evaluation describes fish responses to Commonwealth environmental water for 2019–20 as well as the cumulative outcomes since monitoring began in 2014 to answer the following evaluation question: What did Commonwealth environmental water contribute to sustaining native fish at the Basin-scale? In this webinar we discuss fish and flows in the Murray-Darling Basin, current findings from the Basin-scale evaluation and challenges and future directions for assessing fish population responses to flows.
