Ozfish Sunday clean up

Very well timed with the flood waters coming down the Clarence is Clean Up Australia Day 2022 this Sunday March 6.

Ozfish will be setting up camp at Whiting Beach Carpark at 8am and with support from locals are hoping to be able to spread the clean up further than planned.

Peter Prior long term local and Ozfish Clarence President noted the amount of work needed doing in the Clarence to help restore habitat for fishers and that it is only with volunteers that this work will get off the ground and get momentum.

Having clean up days like this gives a chance to talk to locals about the importance of restoration projects, get a local perspective on priorities whilst getting in and getting things done.  We can’t sit by and wait for Government to take action we need to start the process, show there is community support and push for funding.

Registering with Ozfish is a good way to track this support.  You can either do this on-line or sign up on the day.  https://ozfish.or.au/clean-up-australia-day-2022-clarence-river-chapter/

Remember slip slop slap, BYO gloves, closed in shoes and the Kids.    Remember, 8am Whiting Beach Sunday March 6.

Come along and lend a hand.
