In support of the 'Value of Healthy Streams' theme, the Conference is centred on four key areas:
Ecosystem services - what values do healthy riverine ecosystems provide to humans and to other ecosystems (on floodplains, in estuaries, etc)?;
Hydrological connectivity - how are the various hydrologic elements (streams, floodplains, and ground water) connected and what role do these connections play in regard to stream health?;
Bio-physical integration - how are the physical and biological aspects of stream systems inter-connected and how is the connection reflected in our planning and action? and
Tools and techniques - what are the latest developments in science that will assist us to better plan and manage our stream systems?
The deadline for abstracts (poster papers and presented papers) is close of business Monday 29 January 2001. To register your interest in submitting an abstract please send an email with all your contact details and the type of contribution you intend to make (poster or paper) to stream.conference@dnr.qld.gov.au
A range of pre-conference tours in Far North Queensland and post-conference tours around Brisbane will be offered.
