Estuary water quality, fish health, and caring for Bindjareb Boodja will be among the topics discussed at an upcoming estuary forum event hosted by the Peel-Harvey Catchment Council as part of the State Government’s Healthy Estuaries WA program.
The free community event will be held on Tuesday, September 12 from 4pm to 7pm in Mandurah.
Presentations will be given by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, Peel-Harvey Catchment Council with farmers who participate in the Healthy Estuaries WA program, Winjan Aboriginal Corporation and Murdoch University.
Peel-Harvey Catchment Council Chairperson Caroline Knight said the estuary is the lifeblood of our community in Mandurah and the Peel region, but shows symptoms of poor water quality such as excessive algal growth.
“We are working together with many dedicated people including farmers, community, industry, government and university researchers to improve the long-term health of our waterways, especially our beloved estuary,” she said.
“For example farmers in the estuary’s catchment are working with us to reduce nutrient inputs from fertiliser use and stock, and we are delighted to have farmers presenting about their efforts at this year’s estuary forum."
