Hastings River Fish Talks
March 19 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm AEDT
OzFish is teaming up with Charles Sturt University to host an evening of fish talks in Port Macquarie!
Join us to hear from experts, researchers, and local champions who are leading the way in fish habitat restoration.
This event will inspire, educate, and connect you with the people and projects making a real impact in the Hastings River catchment and beyond.
Our waterways are the lifeblood of our environment, supporting vital fish populations and countless aquatic species. But with increasing pressure from habitat degradation, pollution, and climate change, these ecosystems need our help.
That’s where you come in!
