River Murray news

Murray River National Park, which boasts some of the state’s most stunning and unique natural environments, is being celebrated as the National Parks and Wildlife Service May Park of the Month.

The Australian Government has committed $17 million for a new project to improve shorebird and wetland habitat across South Australia's Coorong, Lower Lakes, Murray Mouth and South East landscape.

The Living Murray has cemented its place as one of Australia’s most significant restoration programs but even after 20 years, it shows no signs of slowing down.

Healthy Coorong, Healthy Basin (HCHB) Program Leader Dr Nadine Kelly was recently invited to present to the 79th National Conference of the Murray Darling Association (MDA), held in Murray Bridge in September 2023.

The health of freshwater soaks along the Younghusband Peninsula is the focus of a collaborative study commissioned by the Department for Environment and Water (DEW) as part of the Healthy Coorong, Healthy Basin program.
