Brenda Park Scotts Creek Wetland Group have entered into an agreement with SARDI to help investigate Integrated Pest Management. SARDI will be undertaking experiments to document the impacts of pests species on Wetlands. Brenda Park Scotts Creek Wetland was chosen because it is a priority wetland. The community group actively assists with ecological monitoring at the wetland and promotes wetland monitoring and restoration activities where possible and Prince Alfred College camp next door at Scott’s Creek is also keen to be involved where possible.

Fenced enclosures have been constructed within Brenda Park wetland to monitor the ecological response to carp removal, by comparing the diversity and abundance of fish, vegetation, macroinvertebrates and water quality among ‘exclusion’ & ‘control’ plots located within ‘Edge’, ‘Open Water’ and ‘Deep Open Water’ habitats the first round of sampling to begin in October and key results will be distributed as they occur.
