The Inshore Flats Project is LIVE 🔥

Inshore flats are where fish feed, move, and grow. They support everything from recreational fishing to guiding and local coastal economies. That’s why the trial use of tunnel nets on these flats should concern anyone who fishes them.

Tunnel nets are designed to intercept large numbers of fish moving across shallow water, removing multiple species and size classes in a single set. This includes key flats species like permit, golden trevally, queenfish, GTs and barramundi, as well as the bait and juvenile fish that keep these systems productive.

When recruitment is disrupted, flats fisheries feel it first.

What’s at stake:
• A high-value recreational and charter fishery built on healthy, repeat fishing opportunities
• Shallow nursery habitats that take years to recover once heavily netted
• Increased pressure on protected inshore zones, where low-impact fishing should be the priority

This isn’t about stopping fishing.
It’s about fishing that lasts.

The Inshore Flats Project exists to push for practical, science-led fisheries management that keeps fish on the flats and fisheries healthy.
