Fish habitat grants available
Fish Habitat Grants are currently available to undertake projects that improve habitats to enhance and sustain coastal fish populations in NSW, according to Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast Mr Adam Crouch.
The Flagship Grants program seeks to target larger scale projects, which require higher levels of funding assistance, and will benefit recreational fishers by enhancing fish habitats, he said.
"These grants offer a rare opportunity for regional fishing clubs, local and state government agencies and non-government organisations to improve fish habitats, water quality and fish passage at a large scale or in challenging environments within our local creek, river or estuary.
"Our coastal catchments and waterways have been hit hard by extreme natural events in recent years.
"This has highlighted the need for assistance to give fish stocks the best chance to survive and thrive."
Applications close on Friday, November 4.
