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.
OzFish, in partnership with Landcare NSW and Tweed Shire Council, is restoring native trees to a stretch of the Oxley River, in the Tweed River catchment. The restored habitat will support native fish, including the Australian bass, and wildlife, such as the endangered pale-vented bush hen.
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.
Fishers and farmers
OzFish Tweed River Chapter and Tweed Landcare Inc are working with cattle farmers on the Tweed River, near Byangum and its canoe launching point. Together they will be removing weeds and planting over 1000 trees along their riparian zone and fencing it to keep the cattle out. This reach of the Tweed River is renowned by local fishers for its Australian Bass.
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.
