Shellfish Reef Secrets

Repairing Productive Fish Habitats

Whats it all about?

Traditional Owners and fishers have long
valued shellfish reefs for their ability to
support fish production and habitat for a
wide range of marine life.
Unfortunately many shellfish reefs are at
risk. Globally it is estimated as much as
85% of oyster reefs have been lost including
the majority of those that historically existed
in Moreton Bay.
SEQ Catchments invites you to a
presentation by Dr Ian McLeod from James
Cook University to learn about these
incredible ecosystems and what can be
done to rehabilitate shellfish reefs to support
better fisheries while improving marine
habitats and water quality.

When: Wednesday 8th of June

5:30pm to 7:30pm
Where: UQ Moreton Bay Research
Station, Dunwich
Who should attend?
Those with an interest in Moreton Bay and
its fish habits including professional and
recreational fishers, oyster lease holders,
traditional owners, members of the general
community, and students.
