Warren Reservoir, SA 2021
In a first-of-its-kind initiative for South Australia, OzFish partnered with SA Water to introduce native fish homes in an off-line Government reservoir. These homes will provide shelter for the iconic Murray Cod. OzFish Barossa Chapter volunteers have been busy working to install terracotta pots and limestone blocks to form more habitat for Murray cod and other fish. Two large terracotta pots donated by Bennetts Pottery Magill with concreted bases were installed as a trial, then a trailer load of limestone blocks were donated by RecFish, washed and decontaminated at the Chamings property with OzFish volunteers doing the heavy lifting and cleaning, then installed into the reservoir by chapter members with Aquatic Biosecurity Pty Ltd’s commercial vessel Orca.
