After discovering the unique oyster, Richmond River OzFishers are now working with Macquarie University to determine baby oyster recruitment and growth. #betterhabitatbetterfishing #shellfishreefs #shellfishreefrestoration... https://ozfish.org.au//new-oyster-variety-potential-game-/

20.01.2022 ITS SCIENCE WEEK! OzFishers all around Australia are learning the value of saltmarsh! Did you know that more than 70% of our estuarine and ocean target fishing species rely on saltmarsh for at least some of their lifecycle! You know those prawns you all love to eat? Those wouldnt exist without saltmarsh!! OzFishers on the Richmond River are assessing the health of their local saltmarsh and helping it to stay healthy and productive for fish.

20.01.2022 TENTERFIELD TREES FOR FISH Our OzFish Unlimited Tenterfield Chapter recently got active in fish habitat restoration and planted 400 trees along Tenterfield Creek to help native fish thrive and give an extra helping hand to those threatened like the purple-spotted gudgeon.

19.01.2022 Love it when our proud OzFish founder and his mates go out to wet a line. Can you spot him? Great catch fellas! #BetterHabitatBetterFishing

18.01.2022 It cant be argued that the MDB is Australias most precious river system and this new report is a must-read if you are interested in what could be happening to our fish and flow. The visual maps are fascinating but better on a fullscreen.

16.01.2022 Thank you Harry from the OzFish Unlimited Tenterfield Chapter for helping Scotty and Jason get onto the iconic Murray Cod on Creek to Coast tonight and sharing what we do here at OzFish. Were so proud to have you on the team! Episode is online now - check it out here: https://creektocoast.com.au/your-guide-to-winter-camping-i/

15.01.2022 99% of the time we all probably take a little bit more than we give. But theres a group quietly turning that around and you too can get hooked on the shot of adrenaline that goes with it. Take a watch and give it a SHARE if you think you know others that could get involved. #BetterHabitatBetterFishing

14.01.2022 Never judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree. Anne Mitchie from our OzFish Unlimited Northwest NSW Chapter chats to Scott Levi on ABCs The Big Fish about just this. Have a listen via the link below. #BetterHabitatBetterFishing #FocusOnOurWaterway #TreesForFishTamworth #GetInvolved ABC The Big Fish with Scott Levi

14.01.2022 ITS SCIENCE WEEK! Kelp forests are amazing, known to be one of the most productive ocean ecosystems on Earth and they support a greater diversity of plants and animals than almost any other marine habitat. But sadly disappearing from our Deep Blue Southern and we dont know why! Southern OzFishers get on board with Kelp Tracker App and help us and the University of Tasmania discover the truth! Tag your Tasmanian mate who should be downloading the Kelp App now.... https://ozfish.org.au//giant-kelp-restoration-project-tas/

11.01.2022 HAPPY FATHERS DAY FROM BRAEDEN "Victorians are still in lock down but we are enjoying the Murray through other ways like spending the afternoon picnicking with family". #happyfathersday2020

RMITs Pesticide Detectives Program takes sediment samples from rivers and creeks around the country to see what pesticides are gathering in them.

09.01.2022 HAPPY FATHERS DAY FROM GRANT "My dad is my favourite fishing partner. Comes with me all the time. He used to take us as kids and now we take him. This was dads first metrey and it was very unexpected... and i captured it all on GoPro. Video ended up getting 35K views over the next couple of days and he was on the front page of 2 local newspapers. He was like a celebrity in his home town for weeks, everyone had seen his viral video & heard all about his fish" https://youtu.be.../gOAzkk9x4jw #happyfathersday2020

09.01.2022 HAPPY FATHERS DAY FROM HUGH "Heres a yarn for ya. I took my old man and father-in-law out fishing a year or two ago. Dad hadnt been fishing for lets say the best part of 15-20 years. While were soaking a few baits and having a beer or two he says you know what Hugh, I dont think Ive ever caught a Murray Cod. I was completely baffled. On this day, he snagged a heap of carp and I managed to sneak a 93.5cm cod into the mix before he finally managed to catch this one... His next statement was geez, I regret not taking you kids out fishing more! #HappyFathersDay2020

04.01.2022 The upper catchment of the far-famed Tuckean Swamp got a little nip and tuck recently with some pretty major regeneration work at Boggy Creek. Invasive weeds outcompeted our native plants but locals are now hoping the 3000, (yes that is not a typo) natives planted with the help of our fantastic landholder partners will bring back the stunning natural creek ecology and provide food for our Aussie Bass. This project is supported by NSW DPI Fisheries Recreational Fishing Trust, Landcare NSW, Tregeagle Landcare, Lismore City Council Cand BCF - Boating, Camping, Fishing. https://ozfish.org.au//fish-habitat-action-on-boggy-creek/

04.01.2022 HAPPY FATHERS DAY FROM HARRY "This is my Dad Allan and this was our last fishing trip together in 2017 before he got sick. We did a trip to Lake Monduran so he could get his first barramundi. Get Barra we did, I spent almost every weekend when I was young with my dad catching Bream, Tailor, Flathead and Whiting he loved it. I sure do miss him he taught me as his father taught him to fish. Before he passed he use to always have a dig at me because I kiss them and put them back lol." #happyfathersday2020

03.01.2022 Theres something really exciting about the start of a habitat restoration project. When everything aligns and you get to test your new ideas its a really special time. OzFish are helping TropWATER with a unique #seagrassrestoration trial in Mourilyan Harbour in Nth Qld where theyve lost their seagrass meadows. We can not wait to see the results guys.

01.01.2022 SEASON CLOSED FOR MURRAY COD The Murray Cod season has come to a close as at today to ensure natural recruitment and to protect this important species during its breeding season. Blowering Dam in Southern NSW and Copeton Dam in northern NSW will remain open for during this period because there is very little natural fish recruitment of Murray Cod in these areas. These waterways rely on stocked fish to sustain the fishery.... Lets send off the season with our best cod pictures. #murraycod #freshwaterfishing

01.01.2022 HAPPY FATHERS DAY FROM GREG "This pic sits on our bookshelf and Im very proud of it. I often think fishing teachers you more about being a good man and its a great way to really connect with your children. They go away learning about patience and timing, and about giving more of yourself to the world" #HappyFathersDay2020
