Time is running out to lodge applications for Habitat Action Grants within NSW. The grants are available to individuals, groups, Councils and organisations for undertaking projects to improve waterways for fish.
Habitat Action Grants funded by money raised from the recreational fishing fee are coordinated by I&I NSW and will close 5pm on 15 October.
Previous grants have funded fish friendly projects to remove invasive vegetation and re-establish native plants on riverbanks, remove barriers to fish movement, re-snag waterways, restore natural tides to former estuarine wetlands, open floodgates and stabilise eroding river banks.
More information and an application kit is available from www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/habitat/rehabilitating/ahr-grants-program.
