Wellington Chapter
The need for more fish habitat within the Macquarie is critical. The Wellington Chapter invites local recreational anglers to join the Chapter and community partners to work towards a healthy, vibrant and more productive fishery. The OzFish Wellington Chapter plans to use funds raised from the Burrundong Easter Classic competition to help recreational fishers in Wellington promote sustainable fishing, undertake rubbish cleanups, and increase the capacity of the rivers to carry more native fish stocks.

This will provide an understanding of the extent of the litter problem – how much litter is entering the river, from where, and why – enabling us to work with others in the community to implement effective litter prevention programs.
