Summary

GBCMA has undertaken a long-term rehabilitation program of the Broken River which has included the re-introduction large woody debris (LWD) into selected sites within the Broken River. The objective of this project is to continue monitoring the Broken River to determine the impacts of re-snagging on the fish community within the river.
