Our work in the Hunter River estuary concentrates on improving
the health and extent of fisheries and other wildlife habitat that
has been degraded or lost in the estuary over the past 200 years. To
do this, we manage water and water flows and restore native
vegetation on three sites in the Hunter River estuary.
We also endeavour
to conserve threatened species, manage pests and demonstrate
suitable agricultural techniques for managing our wetlands. We use
applied research to help assess, monitor and guide management
activities. In addition to our habitat work, we are restoring
various heritage sites and creating facilities to help manage our
wetlands and improve the experience and appreciation of wetlands by
our visitors.
