NFA (Murray-Darling) Inc.
Comprised of members based around Mildura Victoria and Wentworth NSW this branch has a strong research and community engagement focus.
Native Fish Australia (SA)’s activities and goals are directed towards the research and conservation of our native fish and aquatic environments. We recognise the need for the integration of ongoing institutional research in our local area, the promotion of native fish, community involvement in research and education based at the protection and enhancement of native fish into the future.
This will involve the raising of issues important in ensuring these aims, such as the articles featured in this edition of our regional newsletter. Recreational events such us fishing for our larger native species are also part of this association. Become involved in the monitoring, research and restoration of our waterways by becoming a member of NFA (SA).
