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 | To survey and report on sentinel wetland and understorey vegetation and the results of a carp exclusion pilot study in the Gunbower Forest Icon Site autumn 2015. The primary aim of surveying the wetland and understorey flora was to assess the impact of 98 GL of environmental water delivered to the forest through the newly constructed Hipwell Regulator during the 2014 winter-spring period. The secondary aim was to assess the condition of the vegetation and report on progress toward Icon Site ecological objectives. |
