With the help of more than 300 recreational fishers and local community members, OzFish has empowered Adelaideans to replant a record 15,000 seagrass seeds along its beaches as their annual Seeds For Snapper – Seagrass restoration project. During the month-long program
Seeds for Snapper returned for its second year in Adelaide and it built on the previous year’s success. More than 400 local recreational fishers, boaters, beachcombers, and members of the wider community combined to disperse over 15,000 seeds giving a massive 2,174 volunteer hours.
OzFish’s Seeds for Snapper initiative arrived in South Australia in 2020, following its success in Cockburn Sound, Western Australia. With more than 6,000 hectares of seagrass meadows lost from Adelaide’s metropolitan coastline, over a fifth of the city’s fishing grounds, the local fisheries ecology had been devastated.
