Description

This project seeks to provide information on flow-ecology links for sustainable water management of the Roper River. This is a collaborative project involving researchers from the Aquatic Health Unit of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Charles Darwin University (CDU) and NT Fisheries, with field support from the Yugul Mangi and Mangarrayi ranger groups. The co-leaders of the project are Dr Peter Dostine (DENR) and Associate Professor David Crook (CDU). This report summarises results for data collected up to late 2018. Results from the first year of the study were reported in Dostine and Crook (2016). Much of the following text is repeated from the introduction in Dostine and Crook (2016).,
