Seeds for Snapper WA 2023 – Daiwa Community Afternoon
November 25, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm AWST
All rec fishers, community members and volunteers are invited to the Daiwa community day. Enjoy a sausage sizzle and participate in a draw for a chance to win an exclusive Daiwa prize pack!
OzFish is determined to restore seagrass loss via harvesting seagrass fruits and reseeding them into areas ready to be re-established as seagrass meadows. Doing so will provide shelter for our diverse range of marine species, including important recreational fishing species such as our iconic pink snapper. As members of the local community, you can play an active role in restoring these vitally important natural habitats.
Seagrass squad (shore-based volunteers) | 1pm – 3pm
Before registering to participate in the event, please ensure that you have submitted your details to be a 2023 Seeds for Snapper WA volunteer with us.
Volunteer boaters are invited to scoop seagrass fruit floating on the surface of the water and drop them off at Cockburn Power Boats daily between 1pm – 3pm. Seeds will become available for dispersing from around the 19th of November; see the team at the tanks to be given seeds for dispersal.
If you have any questions please feel free to email the team at seedsforsnapper@ozfish.org.au.
This project was made possible thanks to a long-standing partnership with the University of Western Australia, support from Recfishwest and Cockburn Power Boats with funding provided by Water Corporation, Synergy, Daiwa, MMA Offshore and BCF – Boating, Camping, Fishing.
