As Australia’s only recreational fishing conservation charity, we have been achieving our objective of better habitats for better fishing for several years now. However, while we have taken many great steps towards restoring Australia’s waterways, the road is not a short one and there are other organisations that share similar goals. We want to use our experience and passion to mobilise our community of fishers to work with these organisations and scale-up our habitat restoration activities across Australia.
More than 1,000 native trees and bushes have been planted around Salts Bay and Black Neds Bay in Swansea NSW, in a move that will boost Lake Macquarie’s delicate saltmarsh habitat, support native fish and improve recreational fishing.

Two leading community-driven organisations have signed an agreement to work together to better deliver scaled-up habitat restoration projects across Australia.

Many hands make light work. Those hands when motivated by a shared goal and passion can achieve great things. That’s certainly true of our partnership with Landcare in NSW. By working together, OzFish and Landcare NSW are making a positive difference to habitat restoration. The scale of what can be achieved through collaboration was highlighted recently when one of our joint efforts in the Murray-Darling Basin reached a significant milestone. We have just planted our 10,000th tree along the Wambuul Macquarie River at Dubbo.

OzFish in partnership with Landcare NSW has today announced a state-wide citizen science program in a bid to monitor the recovery of waterways since the 2019-2020 Black Summer Bushfires. Aptly named Waterway Fire Science, the project which is funded by the Landcare Led Bushfire Recovery Grants program aims to mobilise community groups and recreational fishers to self-monitor the recovery of their local waterways. Volunteers will use a range of water sampling techniques that will contribute to ongoing research efforts and future bushfire recovery programs.
