The importance of estuary management

Estuaries are an amazing natural space where fresh river water meets the sea, and in the Glenelg Hopkins CMA region, we have 5 intermittently closed estuary areas we manage.

With the help of some amazing volunteers and local communities, our estuaries, the way we use them and interact with them is improving.

Find out about the wider projects and management we undertake as part of our estuary management role with the rivers and waterways of the Glenelg Hopkins Catchment.

This Estuary Management project is part of the Victorian Government’s $248 million investment over four years (2020-2024) to improve catchment and waterway health across regional Victoria.

Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority proudly acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Victoria and their rich cultural diversity and intrinsic connection to country. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and future. We also recognise and acknowledge the contribution, interest and rights that Traditional Owners and Aboriginal communities have in land and water management. We value our partnerships with them, for the health of people and Country.
