Centre for Fish & Fisheries Research (Murdoch University), report to Lowlands Conservation Association, Serpentine River Group and the Government of Western Australia
2011
Abstract
The Serpentine River is situated 60 km south of Perth, Western Australia, with headwater streams converging and flowing in the Serpentine Dam above the Darling Scarp, which continues westward through the Pipehead Dam, over Serpentine Falls in an uncleared national park, through agricultural land with a brief interruption of uncleared bush within Lowlands Bush Forever Site 368 before flowing through Lowlands/Riverlea cattle property and turning southward where it converges with Birrega Drain. Birrega Drain flows into a series of lakes that empty into the Peel-Harvey Estuary. This project addressed three investment priorities from the WA State NRM Program 2009/10 funding round including 1) Biodiversity, 2) Biosecurity and 3) Water Quality within the Serpentine River in Lowlands Bush Forever Site 368, Lowlands/Riverlea livestock properties and the Birrega Drain.
