The Noosa River system is intrinsic to Noosa’s identity with a long heritage making it a major drawcard for locals and tourists. But how healthy is the river system and how should its future be best managed? These are the fundamental questions that will be explored by guest speaker, Dr Simon Walker, at the next Noosa Parks EnviroForum on Tuesday 30 April.
Dr Walker, a marine ecologist, will discuss the decline of marine biodiversity in the Noosa River system over the last century and explain how scientists, council and environmental groups are now working together to rebuild the biodiversity through the Bring Back the Fish project.
Event coordinator, Lyn Graham, said the EnviroForum is becoming an important and exciting monthly event for locals and visitors with an interest in environmental issues and this month will be no exception.
“The Noosa River system is such an important part of our local environment and its current health and future management is something that all local residents should be aware of,” she said. having Dr Walker speak at the Noosa Parks EnviroForum this month will be a great opportunity for people to learn about the health of the river and about the Bring Back the Fish project from someone who has been involved since its inception.
The Noosa Parks EnviroForum (an initiative of the Noosa Parks Association) will be held on Tuesday 30 April at Noosa Parks Environmental Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Wallace Park, Noosaville from 5.30pm with live music, drinks, finger food and guest speaker.
