The free event, to be held on the 22 and 23 August 2014, aims to raise awareness of issues affecting fish habitat and the State’s fisheries resources.
Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Regional Officer, Charlotte Jenkins, said the Fishers for Fish Habitat Forum aims to provide an opportunity for recreational anglers to get together, share fish habitat stories and voice any concerns about habitat at their local fishing spot.
“Participants will have a chance to hear about the latest science being employed to help native fish populations, as well as from other fishers who have been involved in habitat and conservation projects,” Ms Jenkins said.
“The Fishers for Fish Habitat Forum provides an opportunity to help develop partnerships between recreational fishers, government agencies and conservation groups to work together for the improvement of fish habitat.
“Participants will also have a chance to get hands on and take a tour of local habitat works around Dubbo.”
The Fishers for Fish Habitat program is supported using funds from the NSW Recreational Fishing Trust.
