As usual the NGT crew has been busy out in the field this month. Here’s a selection of photos to show you what we get up to behind the scenes.
First up, insights into a days field work on the east coast of Tasmania.
NGT’s Justine Latton and Bec Sheldon have been busy monitoring later levels in the Apsley Marshes, near the mouth of the Apsley River, and some snaps of Long Point saltmarsh:
