Gavin Rees:  Fish Deaths, Azolla and Water Quality in the Broken Creek

Extensive growth of Azolla (floating fern), poor water quality and fish deaths have been a part of the recent life of the Broken Creek.  This video will describe the history of the creek, the research that has led to our understanding of how the undesirable states occur and the management and monitoring strategies that have been put in place. Gavin will also suggest some long term prospects for its management, especially on the back of the 2012 floods.
