The Fremantle chapter of OzFish is dedicated to two key initiatives: Seeds for Snapper in Cockburn Sound and the Swan Reefs RUV citizen science project. With a primary focus on Seeds for Snapper, the chapter aims to replenish and enhance snapper populations by supporting seagrass restoration along the Western Australian coastline.

Concurrently, their involvement in the Swan Reefs RUV citizen science project emphasises collaborative efforts to monitor and safeguard the health of the Swan River’s aquatic ecosystems. Through these initiatives, the Fremantle Chapter actively engages local communities in conservation efforts while fostering sustainable fishing practices for future generations.

The Peel Harvey chapter of OzFish is steadfast in its commitment to preserving and enhancing the ecological balance of the entire aquatic system, addressing both its upper and lower reaches. With a multifaceted approach, the chapter actively works on initiatives such as marron habitat restoration, where efforts are focused on nurturing and protecting vital habitats for this iconic freshwater crustacean. Additionally, projects like “Pimp My Jetty” underscore the chapter’s dedication to enhancing recreational fishing infrastructure while concurrently supporting ecosystem health. By engaging in a diverse range of initiatives, the Peel Harvey chapter strives to ensure the sustainability and resilience of the region’s aquatic environments for both marine life and local communities alike.

The Geographe chapter of OzFish is deeply invested in both the protection of freshwater mussels and the restoration of the Vasse River ecosystem. Recognizing the importance of mussels as vital filter feeders and indicators of water quality, the chapter actively participates in projects aimed at conserving and replenishing mussel populations in local waterways. Additionally, their dedication extends to the restoration of the Vasse River, a critical watercourse in the region. Through collaborative efforts with stakeholders and community members, the Geographe OzFish chapter works tirelessly to improve habitat conditions, mitigate pollution, and enhance the overall ecological health of the Vasse River, ensuring its sustainability for generations to come.
