Habitat management

Southern Rivers

The Southern Rivers Catchment occupies an area of approximately 29,000 square kilometres. It is bounded on the west by the Great Dividing Range and on the east seaward to three nautical miles.

The region has many major rivers, including the Minamurra, Kangaroo, Shoalhaven, Clyde, Deua, Tuross, Brogo, Bega, Bemboka, Towamba, Genoa and Snowy.

Barriers to fish passage

Fish passage can be restricted within the catchment area by instream structures. There are three reports assessing the impacts of weirs, road crossings and floodgates (respectively) and how these impacts might be reduced.
