We’re the people who make fish happen by looking after and improving the areas that fish need to survive and thrive.

If you’d like to know more about bream, its habitat and the things we need to do if we want to keep fishing for this lovely fish, read on More

Habitat Action Grants
Industry & Investment NSW is now calling on individuals, groups, local Councils and organisations interested in undertaking a fish friendly project to improve their local waterways to apply for a Habitat Action Grant. The grants program, which is funded by the NSW Recreational Fishing Trust from monies raised from the sale of the recreational fishing licences, aims to restore fish habitat and increase native fish populations.
The Habitat Action Grants close on 15 October 2010 at 5.00pm. For technical advice contact a Conservation Manager on (02) 4916 3926 or (02) 6626 1107.

Talking fish in the Murray-Darling Basin
How long have you been fishing in the Murray-Darling Basin? Do you have recollections about the ‘big ones’ that ‘used to be caught around here’? A new oral history project is looking for people to tell their stories and share their memories and photos of the rivers and waterways of the Murray-Darling Basin. The team is visiting several centres throughout the Basin and would love to meet you - details are available on the Discussion Board or visit the website
