Monaro Acclimatisation Society launches website

THE Monaro Acclimatisation Society Incorporated (MAS) is a voluntary organisation primarily concerned with the development and maintenance of freshwater fisheries in the Snowy Monaro region of south-eastern NSW.

Because this region contains mostly trout water the MAS has a focus on trout, but also makes significant contributions to the native fish program throughout the region.

Founded in the 1930s, the MAS is a primary stakeholder with the NSW Department of Primary Industries (Fisheries) and is recognised as such under the Fisheries Act 1935.

The MAS participates with NSW Fisheries in the stocking of fresh water lakes and rivers, maintenance of habitat, contribution to policy and legislation affecting freshwater fish in NSW.

The Monaro Acclimatisation Society has also launched a new website detailing its activities, history, branch locations and more.

To learn more about MAS activities or to become a member check out the website at: www.monarofishsociety.org/
