Macquarie Marshes Nature Reserve

Macquarie Marshes Nature Reserve is a protected wetland reserve in northwestern New South Wales, Australia, forming the core of the much larger Macquarie Marshes floodplain along the lower Macquarie River. Covering roughly 19,800 hectares, the reserve represents the area most frequently inundated within the broader marsh system and contains a representative sample of nearly every habitat type found across the Marshes. The reserve is the centerpiece of an internationally recognized wetland complex. Together the North and South Marsh reserves were designated a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance in 1986, and the surrounding Marshes also appear on the Register of the National Estate, the National Trust of Australia register, and the Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia. BirdLife International has identified the site as an Important Bird Area because of its significance for breeding waterbirds, including species such as the intermediate egret and straw-necked ibis that depend on regular flooding here. Beyond its protected ecological values, Macquarie Marshes Nature Reserve is a focal point for ongoing conservation debate in the Murray-Darling region. The surrounding floodplain is widely used for grazing and cropping, and the volumes and frequency of floods that sustain the wetlands are increasingly affected by upstream water extraction for irrigation, placing the long-term health of both the reserve and the larger Marshes under considerable pressure.
