Audience questions will be collected during Sessions 2 & 3 on Indigenous cultural flows to guide this workshop discussion.

Workshop objective:
To improve how Indigenous knowledge is incorporated into:

• Our understanding and management of water;
• Our understanding and conservation of native fish;
• Our understanding of, and policy response to, climate change.

• Using inundation modelling to assess the potential impact of development on ecological assets - Linda Merrin

• Developing habitat models for freshwater macroinvertebrates in Lakes Alexandrina and Albert, South Australia - David T Dodemaide

• The physical and chemical processes leading to algal blooms in Lake Tuggeranong - Rodney Ubrihien
• Genetic variation and gene-flow patterns in Duma florulenta (tangled lignum) and Acacia stenophylla (river cooba) across a large inland floodplain - William Higgisson
• Population Genetic Structure and Breeding Activity of Two Native Fish Species (Golden Perch and Murray Cod) From a Managed Catchment: A Case Study from the Lachlan River - Foyez Shams
