CoastKeepers @ Bondi Fish Survey - Sun 2nd



CoastKeepers @ Bondi Fish Survey - Sun 2nd

July saw the start of our CoastKeepers Fish Survey workshops and the first CoastKeepers Fish Survey event when 5 participants completed their training at Ben Buckler in Bondi. Great sea conditions enabled divers to survey a wide area and lead to a productive day of fish spotting. Sightings included several Port Jackson sharks, a beautiful Red Rockcod, some inquisitive Blue Gropers and handfuls of Mado, Rock Cale, Old Wives and Eastern Hulafish. These divers are now certified as AWARE - Fish Identification Specialty divers and can participate in any CoastKeepers or HarbourKeepers organised fish survey event.

The Bondi survey is an ongoing project that will provide a picture of population numbers and seasonal variations over a 6 month period. The data collected will be provided to BioNet - the state wide online database, Project AWARE, the dive industry's leading nonprofit environmental organisation, Waverley Council and the Bondi Marine Discovery Centre.

This project is supported by Coastcare and Hanson.
