The Australian Centre for Tropical Freshwater Research is a
research and consultancy Centre, established in 1987 to promote
water research, technology and information transfer to industry and
government agencies. Since its inception, the Centre has grown
significantly and has expanded to fill a niche in tropical
ecological research and consultancy, both within Australia and
overseas. In conjunction with this growth, the ACTFR has shifted
from being primarily a centre for water research, to one which now
encompasses an interdisciplinary and holistic approach to a wide
range of environmental projects.
