- A Guide to Native Fish and Habitat Management for North-West NSW
| A wide variety of programs are underway throughout the state to implement fish friendlyworks and raise awareness about the plight of our native fish species. These programs are guided in the Murray-Darling Basin by the Native Fish Strategy. The Native Fish Strategy is a Basin wide partnership between state and federal jurisdictions, coordinated by the Murray-Darling Basin A uthority (MDBA), that aims to sustain viable native fish populations and communities throughout the Basin. At a local level, the Strategy is being aided by a range of rehabilitation projects, including the Namoi Aquatic Habitat Initiative (NAHI). This is a community driven collaborative project between Namoi Catchment Management Authority (CMA) and Industry and Investment NSW (I&I NSW), and aims to improve fish habitat and bring back native fish to the Namoi.
The success of these programs relies heavily on the continued involvement of community members, including landholders and recreational anglers. To ensure that this continues in the local area, it is hoped that this Fishes on Cotton Farms book will inform, encourage and motivate landholders to conserve native fish that are dependent on the health of the rivers, creeks, wetlands and back swamps on their properties. It is also anticipated that the book will serve as a useful guide to engage local landholders and anglers, informing them of the fish species that are expected to occur in the local area and what they can do to help conserve and enhance native fish populations
