Draft Coorong Restoration Roadmap *consultation closed*

As part of the Healthy Coorong, Healthy Basin program, we are seeking your feedback on the draft Coorong Restoration Roadmap (the Roadmap) which will guide how we implement a strategic restoration of the Coorong.

Draft Coorong Restoration Roadmap *consultation closed*
The Coorong offers spectacular scenery and wetlands recognised internationally for their rare birds and wildlife.

Restoring a healthy Coorong is critical for the environment, First Nations, local communities, the South Australian tourism industry, the overall health of the Murray-Darling Basin and the success of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.

Guided by the International Principles and Standards for the Practice of Ecological Restoration, the draft Coorong Restoration Roadmap presents how the Healthy Coorong, Healthy Basin program is using scientific key findings and is partnering with scientists, communities and First Nations to implement a strategic restoration program for the Coorong.

The consultation is open until 5pm, Monday 19 June 2023.
