Dear all!

How could different water regimes and climate scenarios affect fishermen and fishing on the Murray River in the future??? I’ve been reading some of your posts here and on fishnet and I can see the emotion on this topic. I am from CSIRO and am wondering whether those of you who know the Murray well and are committed to this issue would spend one hour on a personal interview so that we can figure out exactly what water regime means to fishermen. Unfortunately I don’t have anything to do with making decisions about water allocations- so I can’t help there. What I can do, and where your knowledge comes in! is to publish this and make this information known and available. Please take a look at the consultation attached to this post and get back to me, (Anna, anna.harnmeijer@yahoo.co.uk) if you are interested. Interviews around Canberra, from Albury to Mildura take place in the next two weeks. Good luck!
