OzFish Unlimited, through the support of the Foundation for National Parks and their ‘Healing Our Lands’ global appeal, and Macleay Valley Landcare began the much needed recovery process to rejuvenate Sherwood Creek following the destruction caused by bushfires.
The OzFish Eurobodalla Chapter has been working with South-East Local Land Services and Eurobodalla Landcare to remove wandering trad using a novel biocontrol approach and re-establish native vegetation at a popular campground near Shallow Crossing.
OzFish is working with Bass Coast Landcare Network, with funding from CoastCare Victoria, to restore the mangrove forests in Western Port Bay, Victoria. The project project aims to plant up to 2,000 individual mangroves to bridge the fragmented stands of mangroves currently at the site. The project will increase the extent of critical habitat for marine life, improve water quality, and protect this iconic coastline for generations to come.
OzFish Central Moreton Bay Chapter worked with Healthy Land and Water and Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation, to install, monitor and remove three floating bird roosts. This trial was to support migratory shore birds and native fish species.
OzFish, in partnership with the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), has successfully delivered the first seagrass restoration trial in Tasmanian waters. The trial undertook crucial first steps towards enabling large-scale seagrass restoration in Tasmania, supporting native fish species, a healthy ecosystem, and stronger climate resilience.
OzFish has taken an innovative approach to restoring submerged habitat in the Onkaparinga River – enhancing the habitat for native fish and other wildlife. Constructed from recycled oak tree stakes and filled with bundles of eucalyptus sticks, the frustas were placed at strategic points along the river. So far, nine frustas have been installed.
Located on private land along Emigrant Creek, we are continuing the collective effort to restore the riparian zone, improve fish habitat and prevent bank erosion and turbid water, by restoring another 2km stretch of riverbank.
Emigrant Creek is a popular fishing location that is abundant in both estuarine and freshwater species. This location is important for the migration of Australian bass and their spawning success.
The OzFish Hunter Chapter are working in collaboration with Lake Macquarie Landcare Volunteer Network, Bahtabah Local Aboriginal Land Council and Lake Macquarie City Council to rehabilitate Salt Bay and Black Neds Bay. The project will plant 1,200 native species

OzFish members know that better fishing needs healthy waters. That is why they are committed to improve the health of the Logan River with fish habitat restoration projects that will be implemented over the next 3 years. OzFish members and volunteers have already planted over 2,000 plants at Logan River Parklands with more planting days on the way at Scrubby Creek.
