[Issue category] Degradation and improvement of waterways including aquafiers [Fisheries Victoria response] The responsibility for implementing programs to improve river health including the riparian environment, water quality and water flow rests primarily with DSE, EPA, water authorities and the CMA. In developing the CFMP, Fisheries Victoria has identified habitat and ecological requirements for the key recreational fishing species in the Corangamite. In accordance with the CFMP Strategy 9, Fisheries Victoria will provide advice regarding these species to the relevant management agency to assist in the prioritisation of strategies and actions to achieve fishery outcomes. [Action] Plan not amended
The CFMP will not assist in conserving the riparian environment and that degradation of waterways due to farming activities will cause eel, fish and bird deaths. Water quality of Crater lakes and eutrophication of lakes and streams throughout the CCMA is not adequately addressed in the plan. The strategic directions should be backed by action statements, education, farmer support and adequate staffing.
