Oyster Reef Building Working Bee, Port River SA

OzFish needs your help to build and fill Robust Oyster Baskets to restore the lost shellfish reefs in the Port River.

Before the settlement of the City of Adelaide in 1836 the Port River and Barker Inlet Estuary was home to numerous shellfish reefs according to both colonial records and indigenous records. Now the once plentiful native flat oyster, Ostrea angasi, is found only occasionally in the Port River.

We need volunteers to come along to lend a hand with building and filling the ROBs for deployment.

There will be two sessions:
9:30am – 12pm
1:00pm – 2.30pm

Registration via the OzFish website is essential. We hope to see you there!

This project is funded through the Australian Governments Urban Rivers and Catchments Program and supported by Friends of Port River, Angas Inlet Boat Club, Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA), Renewal SA, University of Adelaide, Environment Protection Authority, Government of South Australia – Department of Environment and Water, Flinders Port Holdings and BCF – Boating, Fishing Camping.
