kanamaluka / Tamar Discovery Day 2024
Saturday 19 October
From ‘catchment to coast’
Working together to coordinate management and guide investment in activities to protect, restore and enhance the kanamaluka / Tamar estuary and Esk rivers systems.
Natural values video series
Waterways flowing through greater Launceston are highly dynamic and diverse, and the kanamaluka / Tamar estuary has been identified as one of the most diverse estuaries in Tasmania. The estuary and surrounding waterways support migratory species, threatened ecological vegetation communities, and provide important breeding and feeding habitats.
In celebration of this, we have produced a series of eight videos and fact sheets that uncover some of the natural values of the kanamaluka / Tamar estuary and its catchment, and how these enhance the ways local communities interact with the waterways.
The series features information about riparian vegetation, wetland and saltmarsh communities, recreational fishing, and marine habitats of the lower estuary. You can take a closer look at topics with the accompanying fact sheets available to download.
Watch.
You can learn more about how the estuary works by watching the short video produced by the TEER Program.
The TEER Program acknowledges and pays respect to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people, the Traditional Owners of Tasmania, and the kanamaluka / Tamar estuary and Esk rivers. We pay respect to elders past and present, and acknowledge their connection with and custodianship of land, sea, and sky Country.
