Youngest graduate of Aboriginal Fisheries training program
The youngest graduate of an Aboriginal Fisheries training program, Tarnee Morey is set to take to the water as a fully-fledged Fisheries Officer in South Australia.
An Arrernte woman, Ms Morey, 21, is the fifth trainee to graduate from the Aboriginal Fisheries Officer Career Pathway Program and is now working with the compliance team at Yorketown.
Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development David Basham said Ms Morey’s graduation is positive news for Aboriginal Traditional Fishing management in South Australia.
“Many South Australian Aboriginal communities have a strong connection to country and a long history of fishing in both marine and inland waters that is central to their culture and tradition,” Minister Basham said.
