MONITORING THE CHANGE IN THE DIVERSITY OF SPECIES WITHIN REEDY SWAMP USING ACOUSTIC MONITORING TECHNIQUES DURING THE DELIVERY OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL WATER DELIVERY
Wetlands in the Goulburn Broken Catchment (Victoria, Australia) provide habitat for a diverse fauna assemblage including many of conservation significance. Environmental water is delivered to a number of these wetlands to provide more natural wetting regimes, which have been impacted by infrastructure development, river regulation and drainage works. Ecoacoustic monitoring has been routinely used since 2008 in wetlands of the Goulburn Broken Catchment as part of the management agency’s broader monitoring program to gauge fauna responses to environmental water deliveries.
Reedy Swamp in Shepparton, Vic, Australia received its first ever environmental water delivery in April 2008. The site was nominated as a drought refuge for the Goulburn Broken Catchment during the millennium drought from late 1996- mid 2010 (BOM 2016) and an allocation of 600 ML of environmental water was delivered to the site to protect flora and fauna species from 2008 to 2010. This paper discusses the findings of the fauna responses to environmental water and how Ecoacoustics was used to inform other environmental water delivery decisions within the Goulburn Broken Catchment.
