Loss of habitat
In the coastal areas of the north Queenslands dry tropics, waterways are often modified to provide irrigation or relocated to accommodate development. This destroys natural habitats and changes flow patterns of the creek or stream, harming native fish.
What we can do:
Leave creek and river beds as you find them – don’t remove trees and logs. Contact your local council and state representative and ask for important fish habitat like wetlands and creeks to be protected.
