Dja Dja Wurrung and Yorta Yorta man Andrew Saunders, who was involved in recovering the river blackfish from the irrigation channel and releasing them into the Municipal Baths wetland, pointed to the benefits of DJAARA working in partnership.
“We all want the same thing: to look after all our river systems and give the fish a chance to survive, thrive and not go extinct, so that our future generations can experience this species of fish,” Mr Saunders said.
“Walking together, side by side, we are protecting the river black fish for future generations.”
