Bundaleer Reservoir, SA 2023
Building on the success of 2021’s activity, volunteers from our Barossa Chapter spearheaded the installation of further habitat structures. At six locations across the reservoir, with support from SA Water’s local team, they deployed fish homes made of large eucalyptus logs, brush piles and limestone blocks.

Warren Reservoir, SA 2021
In a first-of-its-kind initiative for South Australia, OzFish partnered with SA Water to introduce native fish homes in an off-line Government reservoir. These homes will provide shelter for the iconic Murray Cod. OzFish Barossa Chapter volunteers have been busy working to install terracotta pots and limestone blocks to form more habitat for Murray cod and other fish. Two large terracotta pots donated by Bennetts Pottery Magill with concreted bases were installed as a trial, then a trailer load of limestone blocks were donated by RecFish, washed and decontaminated at the Chamings property with OzFish volunteers doing the heavy lifting and cleaning, then installed into the reservoir by chapter members with Aquatic Biosecurity Pty Ltd’s commercial vessel Orca.
Onkaparinga River, SA
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.
Warren Reservoir, SA
Since 2021, we’ve been working with SA Water to deliver complex habitat structures for Murray cod and other native species in Warren Reservoir. The project was a first-of-its-kind in the state, and we have been building on its success. The activity is driven by our Barossa Chapter.

Seeds for Snapper, Fleurieu Peninsula 2022
OzFish has been leading the restoration of seagrass meadows in South Australia since 2020 and now we’re expanding our program in the state. Until now, we’ve been restoring seagrass only along Adelaide’s metropolitan coastline but now we’re launching a second SA Seeds for Snapper project on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Seagrass Restoration 2022
Adelaide’s metropolitan coastline has lost over 6000Ha of seagrass meadows. These meadows are a nursery ground for baby snapper and other sea life. OzFish together with leading scientists are bringing these beautiful meadows back to help our fisheries.
