Green Heroes LTD About
World Fisheries Day is marked every 21 November as a reminder that the world’s fisheries and the habitats they depend on are under real pressure. We mark it the way we know best — by getting in the water and counting what’s actually there.
Cook Island Aquatic Reserve is one of the most fish-diverse sites on the northern NSW coast. Warm and cool currents meet here, so tropical and temperate species share the same reef. On this survey we photograph and record as many of them as we can find.
You don’t need to know a wrasse from a wobbegong. Photograph the fish, and we’ll work out the species together afterwards.
