Shellfish Reef Building Working Bee, Port River SA
September 18 @ 9:30 am – 2:30 pm
OzFish needs your help to support oyster reef restoration in the Port River, and restoring other impacted shellfish like native mussels.
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.
We need volunteers to come along to lend a hand with constructing shellfish restoration structures ready for deployment.
Participants must be over 14+ years of age, and all children must be supervised by a guardian.
