The 2020 Tamar Estuary Report Card shows an overall improvement in water quality across all zones of the estuary since the last Report Card in 2018. No major flooding and ceasing the sediment raking program in 2019 was an important factor that led to improvements in ecosystem health.
We’ve heard you. Some feedback on our recent short films about the kanamaluka/Tamar estuary has suggested that nothing is being done. Some said there are too many reports, too much talk. Thankfully improvements have been happening for quite some time, but perhaps we haven't made it clear what is going on. Here is a short film that shows some of what has been done in the past and what is happening now to improve water quality. Enjoy.
