Latest Projects Underway for the APYAC Chapter
Reef Ball Rejuvenation Project
Community members will create ecosystems by deploying shell over reef balls. Anglers and volunteers will drop bagged shell from boats over the concrete reef balls from late 2024 to late 2026. Fish species will be monitored during this time using BRUVs.
Tackle Loop
Tackle Loop is OzFish’s solution to provide a home for recreational fishers’ old, unwanted, and broken gear. Working with our partners, we will take in old and discarded gear before ensuring it is recycled instead of polluting Australia’s waterways or ending up in landfill.
