“Fieldwork in Action!”.. A rewarding day spent alongside our talented Hydrobiology Scientists!
We’re usually racing against time – collecting data and trying to cover as many sites as possible. But this time, it was a more relaxed and collaborative experience..
Our Hydrobiology Team joined a fantastic ‘Waterway Restoration Field Trip’ organised by the Flood Community of Practice (Flood CoP) and the RBMS (River Basin Management Society), in collaboration with Healthy Land & Water and Resilient Rivers. The Tour showcased a range of practical, on-ground techniques including riparian revegetation, engineered log jams, and pile-fields across the Bremer River and Warrill Creek catchments. The day also highlighted the importance of community collaboration in achieving long-term, successful restoration outcomes.
Restoring waterways involves navigating complex systems with many uncertainties. It takes both experience and innovation to deliver nature-based solutions that are resilient and effective. At Hydrobiology, we support this challenge by offering integrated technical expertise across multiple disciplines – including Geomorphology, Ecology, and Environmental Chemistry.
From catchment-wide River Styles assessments to site-scale bank stabilisation and enhancing ecological processes such as fish passage, we’re proud to help our clients implement solutions that work with natural systems, not against them.
It was great to have Chamantha Athapaththu (Senior Scientist) and Samuel Munger (Waterway Scientist) from our Land & Water Management Team, and Leishia Liu (Aquatic Scientist) from our Ecology & Biodiversity Management Team; in the field sharing their insights!
