Introduction
Museum Victoria and the Australian Museum have participated in a program
aimed at developing methods to assess the health of southeastern Australian
estuaries. This project is funded by the Water Services Association of
Australia as part of the National River Health Program, Urban Water Subprogram.
The benefits of both museums participating in this survey is that the
project will contribute to a common set of reference specimens in the
two museums. This will result in consistent identifications and enable
ecological and pollution monitoring work in New South Wales and Victoria
to be linked. |
