Working together to return native fish to the Wakool River
During Murray Irrigation Limited’s annual winter channel shutdown, drained irrigation channels can leave native fish and turtles stranded. The Fish Salvage Project brought together Western Murray Land Improvement Group, Barapa Barapa Traditional Owners, Murray Irrigation Limited, fisheries agencies, recreational fishing representatives and freshwater ecology specialists to rescue and relocate fauna to suitable refuge habitat in the Wakool River system. Following a successful 2023 trial and the first year of a two-year program in 2025, the 2026 operation further developed a practical, collaborative model for fish salvage while creating employment, cultural participation, conservation and recreational fishing benefits.
