Manning River turtles, or helmeted turtles, are only found on New South Wales' Mid North Coast.
New underwater surveys have revealed that an endangered freshwater turtle species is holding steady, one year after record-breaking floods in northern New South Wales.
The Manning River turtle, or helmeted turtle, is one of Australia's rarest freshwater turtles and only found on the NSW Mid North Coast.
The Manning River peaked at historic levels during flooding in May 2025, damaging river banks with debris and pollution, and also impacting river health.
