OzFish receives Great Barrier Reef Foundation funding to improve coastal outcomes for fish 20 January 2021
FISHING conservation charity OzFish Unlimited has received Great Barrier Reef Foundation funding to improve fish habitat in the lower Herbert region of North Queensland.
The funding is for a three-part project that includes a community forum on coastal adaptation and environmental restoration, baseline fish surveys of Tyto Wetlands and Herbert River, and the design of a rock-ramp fishway for Tyto Wetlands.
OzFish project manager, Dr Geoffrey Collins said the project aims to highlight and address contemporary environmental threats facing coastal communities and ecosystems which will ultimately have a positive impact on the health of the reef.
