Groundbreaking Research headed by OzFish will uncover if oyster reef restoration can provide a nature-based solution to the problem of nitrogen in Australia’s waterways, A pioneering trial at the North Pine River, north of Brisbane is now underway to see if oyster reefs could be the answer to removing nutrients in waterways and a joint project between OzFish, Unitywater, Healthy Land and Water and the University of Sunshine Coast gets underway.
Tackle Loop is OzFish’s solution to provide a home for recreational fishers’ old, unwanted, and broken gear. Working with our partners, we will take in old and discarded gear before ensuring it is recycled instead of polluting Australia’s waterways or ending up in landfill.
The project to restore the once magnificent shellfish beds of the Pumicestone Passage is underway. Less than 5% of shellfish reefs remain in the area and human intervention is needed to prevent further decline and support the underwater ecosystem. Recreational fishers, community organisations and OzFish Pumicestone Chapter are working together to restore these important shellfish reefs.
