Working with industries and communities across the state, we’re delivering a once-in-a-generation upgrade of the NSW electricity network. With renewables replacing coal-fired power as the most affordable source of new build energy, an electricity network built on our abundant solar and wind resources will deliver affordable, clean and reliable energy to everyone in NSW. The Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap sets out how we’re going to transition the electricity network to one that will keep the lights on and put downward pressure on energy prices for decades to come.

When a juvenile humpback whale was spotted entangled in a rope and buoys in Sydney Harbour, a specialist team of rescue workers from NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service kicked into action. During an operation that spanned several hours, the NPWS Large Whale Disentanglement Team were able to cut the whale free, with the discarded rope and buoys retrieved and brought ashore. This incredibly skilled and often dangerous operation would not have been possible without the support of volunteers and workers from NSW Maritime, the Gamay Rangers, Port Authority of NSW and ORRCA Inc. Each year, humpback whales undertake huge migrations, travelling up to 10,000 km from the Southern Ocean to breeding grounds in warmer climates. As they travel through inshore Australian waters, they are susceptible to becoming entangled in fishing gear and other marine debris which can lead to fatigue, injury, and death. The NPWS Large Whale Disentanglement team is part of a range of initiatives underway which aim to minimise the risk of humpback whale entanglements, including working with the fishing industry to develop whale- and dolphin-friendly equipment less likely to lead to entanglements.

This week, the latest generation of climate projections from the NSW and Australian Regional Climate Modelling project were released. Known as NARCliM2.0, these are among the most detailed climate projections available in the country and provide up-to-date information on projections for temperature, severe fire weather and rainfall to 2100. Available at 4km ‘suburb’ scale for south east Australia and 20km for Australasia, they play a crucial role in identifying the impacts of future climate change scenarios for NSW and Australia. The data has many uses across the state, including: 👉 Information on temperatures and rainfall which can help our transport agencies plan for our future transport systems 👉 Understanding the impacts of water security on our agricultural systems 👉 Anticipating the impacts of urban heat for our towns and cities View the data: https://lnkd.in/g4WPWhVV #NARCLIM #ClimateChange #AdaptNSW

We’re aiming to better protect, restore and improve biodiversity and connection to Country in NSW 💚 The plan sets out the NSW Environmental Trust’s priorities for the next 5 years and will guide investment and effort into key environment issues impacting communities across the state. This means we can focus more on projects that are high priority, cost-effective and collaborative. It was developed from a survey involving 1300 stakeholders, plus consultation with an additional 50 stakeholders from Aboriginal peoples, community, research organisations, industry and more. #NSW #Environment #Funding

This is the moment a National Parks and Wildlife Service team successfully cut a humpback whale free from commercial fishing gear on NSW's Coffs Coast. In a joint effort with NSW Water Police’s Marine Area Command, Jetty Dive Centre and ORRCA volunteers, the specially-trained NPWS Large Whale Disentanglement Team were able to cut the discarded fishing ropes and allow the whale to continue on their way. Disentanglement rescues can sometimes take multiple days of tracking before a successful intervention can be made. Even then, disentangling marine wildlife is a complicated and dangerous activity that's not always successful, and requires highly skilled and trained operators as well as the right conditions to safely make an approach. The Large Whale Disentanglement team is part of a range of initiatives underway which aim to minimise the risk of humpback whale entanglements - the NSW Government is also working with the fishing industry to develop whale- and dolphin-friendly equipment less likely to lead to entanglements. 📷: Sharyn Coffee

We're giving coastal emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) a fighting chance, thanks to cutting-edge technology ⚡ With less than 50 of these incredible birds left on the NSW North Coast, it's crucial that we act quickly to protect them. Using drone and thermal imaging devices, we can locate the emus and their nests to assist with on-the-ground conservation efforts. This #ScienceWeek, check out the fascinating ways we're using science to conserve NSW's biodiversity: https://lnkd.in/gc9frsD2 🎥: Julie Bourne & Alex Pike/NSW DCCEEW, Brent Mail, Micah Ruedin/Black Rocket Aerospace
