Reccys Restoring The Bay – Port Phillip Bay, VIC

Fishers in Port Phillip Bay have been getting an in-depth look at their local fishing spots through a citizen science project currently being undertaken. In partnership with VRFish and The Nature Conservancy the Reccy’s Restoring the Bay project is being led by OzFish Unlimited and aims to involve more recreational fishers in restoration activities. Using Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV), fishers are helping to monitor recently restored shellfish reefs in Port Phillip Bay along with favourite local fishing spots to get a better understanding of the species present in these habitats.

Students learn about river regeneration, how wetlands support the ecology of the river and take away the general message about how they can contribute to keeping our local environment sustainable.
