eDNA Project (2020)

This image shows Murray Creek channel well protected from livestock due to measures made by landowner. Here, the eDNA crew are sampling to determine fish species presence/absence by fishing (an accepted methodology).

This fish was caught during eDNA sampling for fish presence/absence in Murray Creek near the Erikson Road crossing. This fish clearly demonstrates fish rearing in lower Murray Creek.

RETURN

One major supporter of rehabilitation work on Murray Creek has been Richard Martens, a long-time rancher in the area. Murray Creek flows through much of Martens' property and his dedication to stewardship and rehabilitation to long sections of the creek has not been overlooked. In 2015, Richard received the Cattlemen's Environmental Award. Congratulations - well deserved!
