OceanWatch has been working in the bushfire space since mid-2020, compiling recommendations for protecting fish habitat post-bushfires, and building mapping tools to plan appropriate responsive actions. Most recently, we have been focusing on assessing and restoring mangrove forests destroyed by the Black Summer bushfires, and running community resilience events in Southern NSW.
This project provides recommendations for protecting fish habitat post-bushfires, and mapping tools to plan appropriate responsive actions.
