Understanding Blackwater and Fish Kills in the Richmond River
The Richmond River is facing serious challenges. Mass fish kills and blackwater events are becoming more frequent — but what’s behind these events, and how can we work together to restore the health of the river?
Our new factsheet breaks down the causes of blackwater and fish kills, the role of floodplain drainage and acid sulfate soils, and what we can all do to help. From restoring wetlands to honouring First Nations knowledge and caring for fish habitat, every action counts.
Download the factsheet to learn more and find out how you can get involved.

The Catchment Atlas
We have a vision for a Richmond Catchment Atlas, a website that draws together existing information on the health, water quality and biodiversity of the catchment. An Atlas that enables the community to add information about the health and biodiversity of the creeks and rivers wherever they are. In the meantime, you can find State of the Catchment resources here.
