| Gumma IPA – Nambucca River Estuary Rehabilitation Project |
Gumma Indigenous Protected Area |
Gumma Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) proposes natural area restoration works to provide more resilient and productive estuary margins in the Nambucca River Estuary. The IPA will achieve this by managing Invasive weeds (6 Ha), regenerating riparian habitats and implementing timber fillets to mitigate eroding riverbanks (0.5 Km) and encourage mangrove propagation. |
