Recycle or Reuse challenge!

Let’s learn some cool facts about my friend
– Mangrove Jack Lutjanus Argentimaculatus

 

The Mangrove Jack has a distinct colouring of bright reddish-brown to dark olive-brown.1 Smaller ones like to hangout amongst the mangroves, whereas you’re more likely to find adults in groups near coral reefs.2 They like to live in areas with lots of shelter, using snags as their home.3 They can be a bit feisty and have a strong personality, making them a challenging fish to catch!4

There are many different ways to help keep rubbish out of our waterways. One way is to give products new life by fixing them or turning them into something else. Tackle Loop is one way OzFish are tackling the problem.
