Landscape Repair Project
Freshwater mussels spotted along the scenic Murray Creek! These fascinating creatures are true ecosystem engineers — they reshape riverbeds by burrowing, enhance water quality through filtration, support other wildlife by offering food, and contribute to nutrient cycling in the ecosystem.
We’re always thrilled to see these little gems at our streambank sites, as their presence is a strong sign of healthy water quality. Streambank remediation is being delivered along Murray Creek, as part of the Mackay Whitsunday Landscape Repair Program. Find out more about the project here.
The Mackay Whitsunday Isaac Landscape Repair Program is funded by the Australian Government’s Reef Trust.
