Recent monitoring at the novel nursery-slot fishway on Carmila Creek has confirmed the design is delivering outstanding results for native fish passage.

One year after deployment, our purpose-built Habitat Reef Modules are showing rapid colonisation by marine life, from encrusting organisms to iconic reef fish like red emperor, saddletail snapper and gold-spot cod. Watch the video.

Part 3 of this 3 part series discusses how we measure success by monitoring the fishladders and wetlands for fish species abundance and growth rates.

For more than 50 years coastal graziers have valued ponded pasture for its capacity to provide stock feed in the dryer months. Jason Bradford, a generational farmer, is working with a local NRM, Reef Catchments, and the fisheries ecologists at CS Environmental to return the balance between grazing and native species habitat.

A very interesting documentary video (link below) detailing the implementation of fisheries improvement works on agricultural land which increase fisheries productivity within ponded pastures. Discusses the use of fish ladders, refuge pools and grazing best management practices.

CS Environmental has developed an innovative nursery slot design for their rock ramp fishways or fish ladders. The first of these has been constructed at the Macs Wetlands site just south of Mackay and will be monitored in the coming spawning season to measure its effectiveness.

Pyramid Reef fish aggregating devices (FADs) designed by CS Environmental and deployed by Fisheries Queensland showed an increase in the number of fish and variety of species in recent monitoring.

CS Environmental recently joined the Society of Precision Agriculture (SPAA) organisation in Australia.

Since 2017 CS Environmental has been working with the Australian Federal Government in the Reef Trust program rehabilitating gullies and streambanks to halt erosion and the subsequent sediment making its way to the Great Barrier Reef.

Fish migration along the Fursden Creek at Mackay has increased by more than 800 per cent, thanks to $74,000 worth of innovative remediation works managed by the Department of Environment and Science (DES) and delivered by CS Environmental.

Ross Neivandt presented an overview and conference paper that outlined the achievements and activities of Project Catalyst at the Australian Water Association’s Queensland state conference on the Sunshine Coast in November 2020.
