Environmental flows down three connected waterways in the North Central Catchment in Victoria over the next few weeks will see fish on the move and provide perfect conditions for them to feed and access new habitat.
North Central Catchment Management Authority (CMA) Environmental Water Project Officer Max Smiles-Schmidt said the flows are targeted at fish health but will also improve the health of the waterways for other animals.
“Water for environment at the right time of the year encourages female platypuses in the Loddon to select nesting burrows higher up the bank, which will reduce the risk of larger flows later in the year flooding their burrows and killing their puggles” he said.
