Tidal Weir and Wetlands
Highlights
- Explore the Tidal Mudflats to witness a vibrant community of marine life thriving in their natural habitat.
- Stroll along the River Walk and connect with the ecological balance of mudflats and Coastal Saltmarsh.
- Observe the unique interplay of fish and invertebrates as they thrive behind the weir's protective barrier.
- Discover the vital role of marine organisms in sustaining local wildlife, including internationally protected migratory shorebirds.
Peek through the fenceline, culverts under the pathway connect the wetlands to the tidal waters of the Parramatta River enabling fish to access sheltered habitats behind the weir. The weir is used to regulate flows and achieve the desired ecological balance of mudflat, Coastal Saltmarsh and Swamp Oak Floodplain Forest.
The Tidal Mudflats are at the heart of the wetlands and are inhabited by a rich community of marine worms, molluscs, crustaceans and other invertebrates. These organisms play a vital role in breaking down organic matter and are the dietary staple of many fish, waterbirds and internationally protected migratory shorebirds.
