Port River R.O.B. Building Working Bee – SA

December 16 @ 9:00 am - 2:30 pm ACDT

OzFish needs your help to build and fill Robust Oyster Baskets to restore the lost shellfish reefs in the Port River.

Before the settlement of the City of Adelaide in 1836 the Port River and Barker Inlet Estuary was home to numerous shellfish reefs according to both colonial records and indigenous records. Now the once plentiful native flat oyster, Ostrea angasi, is found only occasionally in the Port River.

The OzFish Adelaide Chapter will be running a shellfish restoration project over the next 2 years. We need volunteers to come along to lend a hand with building and filling the ROBs for deployment.

There will be two sessions:
10:00am – 12pm
12:30pm – 2.30pm

We will be working with wire mesh and tools that can be sharp. Please remember to wear appropriate protective clothing and be sun-smart.

Registration is essential. We hope to see you there!
