Sustainable Rivers Audit (SRA). Implementation Period 1(2004-2005). Progress Report: A Report to the Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council prepared by the Independent Sustainable Rivers Audit Group

Abstract

This document summarises the Independent Sustainable Rivers Audit Groups (ISRAG) main findings from the sampling conducted during the SRA’s Implementation Period 1 (2004-05), or IP1. The initial results are described from the first round of sampling of fish and macroinvertebrates from the subset of river valleys sampled in 2004-05. It should be noted that these results are preliminary. SRA Annual Implementation Reports, as distinct from 3-yearly SRA Reports, are not intended to provide final assessments. Results of more detailed and comprehensive analyses, for all Basin valleys, will be presented in ISRAG’s triennial SRA Reports.
