The Hub has developed a Research and Monitoring Database (RaMonD) that aims to share knowledge of current and recent research and monitoring activities within the Hub's themes with those working in aquatic ecology. Sharing of this knowledge can avoid duplication of research effort and can provide effective research links to people and resources within topics of interest.

RaMonD is maintained by the Hub with inputs from the Victorian Catchment Management Authorities, the Arthur Rylah Institute, DELWP and the Victorian Environmental Water Holder (VEWH).

Please note that initial content within RaMonD covers only one theme - water for the environment. It is intended that following feedback from users, this content will be expanded to include all themes.

Objective	The Hattah Lakes Black Box Reproduction and Tree Health Pilot Project was developed and implemented in 2014 to investigate the influence of environmental watering on reproduction (seed fall) and tree health of floodplain Black Box trees in the northern lake system of the Hattah Lakes Icon Site. This report outlines progress for the Hattah Lakes Black Box seed release and tree health 2014-2016 pilot study. The project was developed and implemented in 2014 to investigate the influence of environmental watering on reproduction and tree health of floodplain Black Box trees in the northern lake system of the Hattah Lakes Icon Site. The project is part of The Living Murray (TLM) intervention monitoring program investigating key ecological knowledge gaps in relation to Black Box tree health and reproductive output, with the aim to improve the condition of these populations through environmental watering. Changes in Black Box seed release, reproductive output and tree health were examined over three years in one watered site and one unwatered control site.
