Grants on offer to make fishing in Tasmania more accessible
by Brighton Council
The next round of funding for the Better Fishing Grants, administered by the Tasmanian Government, has been announced. The latest round provides grants of up to $150,000 for facilities to improve recreational marine fishing opportunities.
Under the $2 million Investing in Improved Facilities for Recreational Fishers and Local Communities initiative, the grants aim to make recreational sea fishing more accessible to Tasmanians.
These grants have already delivered projects such as regional weather monitoring equipment and a new fishing pontoon for the Mussleroe community on the far North East of Tassie. If you have suggestions as to what could make the Tasmanian recreational fishing experience more enjoyable, accessible, environmentally friendly or active, please contact better.fishing@nre.tas.gov.au.
