Keep it Clean – Lake Macquarie – NSW
May 25 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm AEST
Keep it Clean for Speers Point!
Join like-minded people who share a love for fishing and a commitment to environmental stewardship to clean up along the foreshore at Speers Point and along Cockle Creek. Together we’re not just picking up litter, we are creating change and inspiring others to follow suit.
When you dedicate your time to cleaning up our shorelines and riverbanks, you’re not only preventing plastic and debris from harming marine life, you’re also creating change and inspiring others to follow suit.
Head to Keep it Clean for more tips on how to make a positive impact and be a responsible fisho.
This event is also a Yabby Trap Drop Spot. Bring down any old and unwanted opera house yabby traps and swap it for an Oar-Gee Plow lure at the event to support sustainable fishing practices. Opera house nets are now illegal in NSW and those collected will be recycled into useful products for anglers, with the proceeds being used to support habitat restoration.
There are prizes up for grabs for the kids!
Please meet by the picnic tables to the east of the boat ramp car park – look for the OzFish Flag!
Registration is essential. We hope to see you there!
