The 11th Australian Stream Management Conference was recently held in Victor Harbor, with over 200 delegates from across Australia in attendance. Science Program Manager, Dr. Nick Whiterod, delivered the plenary presentation, providing insights into the future of Australia’s freshwater species and how we can collectively overcome the challenges they face.
Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Whiterod outlined the current status and trajectories of these species, highlighting the critical actions needed to help conserve as many as possible. His presentation challenged all of us to to do more collectively to protect and conserve Australia’s freshwater species, which are increasingly at risk of extinction due to wide ranging threats.
Nick will be giving the presentation at the Research Centre in the coming months. Keep posted!
