The sea to Hume Dam: restoring fish passage in the Murray River

Source: Murray-Darling Basin Commission
"The “Sea to Hume Dam” program is due to be completed in 2010. However there are over
4,000 other licensed structures in the Basin that impede fish passage. Hopefully the lessons learned from the new Murray River fishways will be useful in prioritising, designing,constructing and assessing fishways on many of these structures.This collection of papers demonstrates the unique nature of the ecology and hydrology of
this system, and therefore the importance of both integration and co-operation betweendisciplines in developing these fishways. It also demonstrates the need for true adaptivemanagement as new information comes to light."
