Moore River North Branch - Molloy Street Moora
Basin : Moore-Hill rivers
Catchment : Moore River
The condition of the Molloy Street Moora site (site code: MR-13), in the middle catchment of the Moore River North Branch, was assessed between 9 and 10 October 2008, over a 100-m length of stream. At this time no previous assessments of river ecology had been reported.
The assessment was conducted using standard methods from the South West Index of River Condition. Measures chosen for this assessment included fish and crayfish, macroinvertebrates, aquatic habitat, water quality (dissolved oxygen and temperature logged over 24h, and electrical conductivity, pH, colour, alkalinity, turbidity and nutrients), fringing vegetation, channel morphology, erosion, connectivity, local land use and flow.
