This project aims to address the escalating threats to coastal freshwater fish from drought, fire, and other disturbances. The project expects to generate new knowledge on contemporary distributions of NSW coastal freshwater fishes, and will develop models of population dynamics to explore the consequences of alternative water management and disturbance scenarios. The expected outcome of the project is to revolutionise management by replacing the current practice of managing river basins separately, with a framework that accounts for among-basin linkages that are essential for the long-term persistence of fish populations. Significant benefits include more efficient use of water resources and improved conservation outcomes for native fish.

该项目旨在解决干旱、火灾和其他干扰对沿海淡水鱼不断升级的威胁。该项目预计将产生关于新南威尔士州沿海淡水鱼当代分布的新知识，并将开发种群动态模型，以探索替代水管理和干扰情景的后果。该项目的预期成果是通过建立一个考虑到对鱼类种群的长期可持续性至关重要的流域间联系的框架，取代目前单独管理河流流域的做法，从而使管理发生革命性变化。显著的好处包括更有效地利用水资源和改善本地鱼类的养护结果。
