New knowledge from the next generation of freshwater scientists!
Fish Futures Master student Liam Taylor and Olivia Reynolds have translated their research into a practitioner-focused pamphlet exploring how braided river dynamics help support kōaro and upland longjaw galaxias in a changing climate.
Their work highlights the importance of natural flow variability, habitat diversity, and targeted management to maintain the delicate balance between these native fish species.
By turning science into accessible resources for managers and communities, Liam and Olivia are helping ensure research can inform real-world freshwater conservation decisions across Aotearoa.
