Each plan a) provides the necessary fish ecology criteria to be incorporated into SDL detailed designs, b) provide the operational requirements that benefit native fish for the SDL site Operating Plans, c) establishes prioritised ecological objectives and targets for native fish at the site and d) develops an understanding of the context of site operations and to maximise the ecological outcomes on a broader reach scale. Regional Native Fish Discussion Paper - To outline the scope for an Integrated Native Fish Management Strategy that could guide the coordinated management of aquatic habitat to optimise native fish outcomes. This includes a) a review of factors that limit the size, distribution, diversity and resilience of native fish populations in the Mallee CMA region and b) identifies opportunities to promote native fish and minimise threats through the coordination of environmental watering projects. |
