The Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority received the 2013 Australian River Prize for demonstrating success over a decade through community-supported river restoration activities; and providing leadership to bring the Glenelg River to a higher standard of health. Farming families, conservation groups and industry have all rallied together to construct 1600km of fencing, plant over 500,000 trees and directly seed 770km of waterways frontage to protect the river.
