Fish kills in the Clarence – Causes & Exploring Solutions
April 30 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm AEST
What is that smell? Why is our river going belly up? Are there any fish left? What can we do to fix this?
If these are the questions on your mind after yet another fish kill on the Clarence, come down to the Showgrounds in Maclean and learn what the key cause is and discuss possible solutions.
We want fishers, river-lovers and community members to understand the cause of the recent fish kill event and, most importantly, what we can do to help prevent more fish kills in the future.
Date: Wednesday 30th April 2025
Time: 6pm – 7:30pm AEST
Venue: Rocky Mouth Pavilion, Maclean Showground, 12 Cameron St, Maclean NSW 2463
