Abstract:

To support river ecologists and those people involved in river rehabilitation, the CRC for Freshwater Ecology (CRCFE) has published a summary of insights collected through the experiences of its researchers and associated river managers and rehabilitation practitioners.

Recent lessons on river rehabilitation in eastern Australia is not a ‘how-to’ manual. Instead, it aims to capture recent lessons that have emerged in some of the river rehabilitation work the CRCFE has been involved in.

The report considers ecological principles fundamental to successful rehabilitation, and discusses factors to consider when planning rehabilitation projects, as well as lessons learnt from projects applying rehabilitation ‘tools’ such as flow, installed habitat, riparian repair, and restocking. It also touches on evaluating the effectiveness of rehabilitation projects, and future directions.
