NRM North’s Tamar Estuary Management Taskforce is collaborating with farmers, environmental scientists, engineers, community organisations, and the public to install livestock-exclusion fencing along waterways and improve dairy effluent management.Â
The program has reduced pathogen concentrations by more than 7 per cent in the upper part of the Kanamaluka / Tamar Estuary and has improved water quality and river health across the catchment – a significant benefit for people, animals and other water users.
NRM North Chief Executive Officer Dr Jo Fearman said “While there is still a year of project activities to be completed, the Catchment Works Program has already demonstrated the power of collaboration in addressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainable practices.”Â
