We joined a unique event hosted by the NSW Branch of the Australian Marine Sciences Association (AMSA) on the Hawkesbury. It brought together researchers, councils, government, and community organisations with a shared interest in estuaries.
Over a delightful 2 hour river cruise down the Hawkesbury, attendees heard talks by researchers and industry leaders (including us), nibbled on snacks, and received a tour of river landmarks – all while networking and fostering a sense of community. We shared our work on urban wetlands and explained how better visualisation of wetlands and waterways could contribute to better care of these important ecosystems.
Huge thanks to the Hawkesbury Estuary Coastal Management Program councils for supporting the event, our AMSA NSW organiser and C-SERC colleague Carla Sbrocchi, for inviting us.
