Abstract

Strategic management of Commonwealth environmental water by the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) is key to achieving the Commonwealth’s (Murray–Darling) Basin Plan 2012 (Basin Plan) environmental objectives. Longer term targets identified in the Basin Plan to measure progress towards the overall environmental objectives for water-dependent ecosystems include improvements in recruitment and populations of native fish. The CEWH’s Basin-scale Monitoring, Evaluation and Research Program (Flow-MER) aims to demonstrate Basin-scale outcomes of Commonwealth environmental water, support adaptive management and fulfil CEWH legislative requirements under the Basin Plan.
The evaluation presented here describes the fish outcomes across the Basin from the use of Commonwealth water for the environment for 2021–22 as well as the cumulative outcomes since monitoring began in 2014–15. This information is used to answer the following evaluation question:
What did Commonwealth environmental water contribute to sustaining native fish at the Basin scale?
Addressing this evaluation question provides insight into how water for the environment is helping to maintain, protect and restore native fish populations in Selected Areas.
