Researcher Billy van Uitregt from the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, visited the CLLMM Research Centre, engaging with members of the Migratory Bird Collective (MBC) from diverse regions, including Alaska, Tasmania, and Brisbane. The Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board and Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal Corporation were also involved in discussions.

The group embarked on a journey to Raukkan, crossing the barrages and locks, to connect with the Working on Country Rangers and the Ngarrindjeri community. At Raukkan, discussions centred on cultural and ecological stewardship, highlighting shared responsibilities for land and migratory species. Discussions were had around monitoring migratory birds in the region. The convoy continued to Murray Bridge, fostering deeper connections and facilitating knowledge sharing among First Nations Peoples from Ngarrindjeri Country and across the globe. The day was celebrated as an inspiring exchange of knowledge, stories, and interconnected ideals.



CLLMM RC staff with researchers from Virginia Tech Center for Ecosystem Forecasting

Researchers from the US based Virginia Tech Center for Ecosystem Forecasting in collaboration with the University of Adelaide, University of Western Australia, and Griffith University along with water managers from the Department for Environment and Water and Murray-Darling Basin Authority, visited the CLLMM Research Centre drawing an audience of 80 attendees, including businesses, students and Ngarrindjeri Rangers.


Discussions focused on forecasting water temperature, water salinity, algal blooms and depth and how this information could be readily accessed to aid decision making around Lake Alexandrina. The Virginia research team have now returned home to further develop the modelling based on feedback they received.
