Hastings River Chapter
The Hastings River Chapter came together through our concern and interest in being able to restore the fish habitat. Our area encompasses the Hastings River through to the Camden Haven Inlet & River and catchment. In the middle, we have the Lake Cathie Lake Innes Estuarine System where in the past was described as “the Jewel of the Hasting”. Join our Chapter now to help restore fish habitat in our waterways.

Keep It Clean
Each time you go fishing is an opportunity to make a difference and the Fish For Life – Keep It Clean campaign encourages exactly that. Be part of making a difference use the hashtag #FishForLifeKeepItClean, share the videos, and show Australia just how much our waterways mean to recreational fishers by getting involved.
Waterway Fire Science
The Black Summer Bushfires of 2019-20 ravaged the east coast of Australia at an unprecedented scale and ferocity and was followed by high rainfall, dealing our precious and unique waterways with a devastating blow. Waterway Fire Science Project is a citizen science initiative in NSW which will determine how our waterways, fish habitat, and fish populations are recovering following the impact of bushfires.
Tackle Loop
Tackle Loop is OzFish’s solution to provide a home for recreational fishers’ old, unwanted, and broken gear. Working with our partners, we will take in old and discarded gear before ensuring it is recycled instead of polluting Australia’s waterways or ending up in landfill.
