Nursery and Reserves 2007
1. Clean Up Australia Day, March 2007
Rubbish was collected from three sites. Thank you to all who assisted.
2. Waterwatch & Fish Survey
Waterwatch:
Voluntary monitoring of the creek commenced officially in February 2005.
Fish Survey:
Surprisingly there has never been an official Fish Survey carried out. KCA has been successful in obtaining a grant of $700 from Melbourne Water to do a fish survey in conjunction with the Victorian Museum.
It is proposed to conduct quarterly surveys at a number of locations in the creek over a 12 month period. This will allow us to assess the distribution of fish species at different times of the year along the length of the creek. A sample of the fish species found will be housed at the museum in their permanent fish collection.
Knowing what species inhabit the creek over the period of a year will enable us to better understand the role the Creek plays in the overall health of Port Phillip Bay and help in the management of this important waterway.
If you would you like to help call Alison on 97664304.

Achievements
A Major Milestone Achieved (2005) - the completion of the Fiocchi Ave to Beach St section of trail directly linking the reserves to the business district.
