The Macleay River is a typical oyster farming estuary that experiences a range of water quality issues. For the first time, this project will collect and analyse very detailed water quality information from this estuary that will be used to build predictive models to show the impact of poor water quality events such as flooding, bushfire runoff, acid sulphate runoff, de-oxygenated water, disease, low salinity and sewage spills on estuaries farming Sydney rock and pacific oysters.

Delivering real-time, estuary-specific predictive modelling for shellfish farmers to manage and reduce the cost of closures.

This project will improve the efficiency and transparency of food safety regulation of the NSW Oyster industry by combining industry leading research with state-of-the-art sensing to enable real-time water quality testing.
