The Centre for Fish and Fisheries Research (CFFR) by December 2007 completed a detailed two (2) year sampling program of estuarine fish relative abundance and condition in five (5) South Coast estuaries (Broke, Wilson, Oyster Harbour, Wellstead and Stokes), which captured data primarily on major target fish species – Black Bream, King George Whiting, Cobbler, Herring and Mullet. This included the identification and recommendation of a suitable indicator for estuarine health and a community out-reach program with 9 educational events. The CFFR by June 2008 completed the draft report on the activities and findings of the research study, including the fish tagging program. The Outputs of the project contributed to the development of long-term monitoring and fisheries management practices. |
