Invasive Fish in Aquatic Habitats, Torres Strait Island (Old ID 21581)
Principal Investigator
This project will assess and evaluate movement of invasive freshwater fish species from PNG to Torres Strait Islands. This project aims to understand the mechanisms of this migration (people, or environmental), and will examine ways to reduce the risk of pest freshwater fish species reaching northern Australian waters. A large component of this project is to prepare education material (websites, brochures) and conduct a range of workshops with Rangers community and schools. The success of this project is through a combination of scientific surveys and education.
