This project will restore 250m of riparian vegetation along Maguires Creek. Helping to improve habitat, and bring back some of the ‘Big Scrub’ for Australian Bass, Herring and Mullet that all love this creek to enjoy!
Oz Fish has been working to restore 650m of riparian zone along Rocky and Little Rocky Creek to improve the habitat for native fish species.
Each time you go fishing is an opportunity to make a difference and the Fish For Life – Keep It Clean campaign encourages exactly that. Be part of making a difference use the hashtag #FishForLifeKeepItClean, share the videos, and show Australia just how much our waterways mean to recreational fishers by getting involved.
The Black Summer Bushfires of 2019-20 ravaged the east coast of Australia at an unprecedented scale and ferocity and was followed by high rainfall, dealing our precious and unique waterways with a devastating blow. Waterway Fire Science Project is a citizen science initiative in NSW which will determine how our waterways, fish habitat, and fish populations are recovering following the impact of bushfires.
Once dubbed ‘Kakadu of the South’ for its abundant wildlife, the Tuckean was an engine room for fisheries productivity throughout Northern NSW. Unfortunately, we now know that the modifications to the hydrology of the swamp, largely through floodplain drainage infrastructure, has resulted in poor water quality across it’s floodplain. Resulting in the associated loss of environmental values and despite previous attempts, only small-scale improvements have occurred, poor water quality still occurs regularly, and previous ecosystem values remain diminished.
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.
OzFish Richmond River Chapter is investigating a new variation of Sydney Rock Oyster, which may turn out to be the disease-resistant oyster everyone in the commercial industry has been looking for.
Saving Our Saltmarsh project, on the lower Richmond River estuary is a project that local Richmond River Chapter volunteer fishers are personally passionate about. Saltmarsh is critically important to the health of the lower Richmond River and its fish population. These communities are important to water quality, bank stability and as fish habitat and fish food source.
