Summary
Background
This project is a joint collaboration with the NSW Murray Wetlands Working Group, and is to further the environmental benefit from a successfully conducted project funded by the Environmental Trust and awarded to the MDFRC (2003/RD/0003)The extent of acid producing sediments in inland NSW waterways.
Objective:
The objective of this dissemination project is to make available research findings and the decision support tool developed as part of that project to a wider audience.
Outcomes
- Produce a brochure on the findings of the research program, what people need to be aware of and provide information on the decision support tool.
- Conduct a workshop, probably in Mildura in either April or May 2007.
- Craft a series of media articles to make the information more widely available to the general public and use this media in each region to assist to populate the workshops.
This transfer of knowledge and extension to the program will be conducted by liaising with the Catchment Management Authorities with State and Local Governments.
