NSW DPI Fisheries

Matthew Gordos manages the NSW Fish Passage Program on behalf of the Aquatic Habitat Rehabilitation Unit within NSW DPI Fisheries. The NSW Fish Passage Program has improved fish passage at over 500 barriers in the State, thereby facilitating fish access to over 18,000 km of additional waterway.

Matthew has 10+ years of experience in the design, management, and construction of fish passage outcomes including fishways, dam removals, and road crossing remediation.
