CONTRIBUTED BY OZFISH
OzFish is working hard to restore the amazing oyster reefs of Moreton Bay. Ninety-five per cent of this vital habitat has been lost since European settlement and we need to bring it back!
Come and join our band of committed volunteers at one of our working bees happening every second Wednesday and fourth Saturday of each month. The working bees commence at 8:00am. You will finish the working part of the session around 11:30am, then you’re invited to stay for a simple BBQ and a short update/discussion on the project, wrapping up by noon.
You will be manufacturing Robust Oyster Baskets (ROBs) or other reef modules and filling these with washed oyster shell collected from oyster shuckers, seafood outlets and restaurants, ready for deployment into beautiful Moreton Bay. The ROBs are used as base structures for ground-breaking shellfish restoration projects in the bay.
Working bees take place at OzFish OysterWorld, our shell recycling location at 2 Whimbrel St, Port of Brisbane. Please remember to wear sun-smart clothing, shoes or boots that can take a bit of water, sunscreen, and a hat. If you have gloves, please bring them. Don’t forget to bring plenty of drinking water and perhaps a snack.
