Members of the Inshore Flats Project have been appearing on podcasts across Australia and around the world, sharing stories from the water and raising awareness about the impacts of tunnel nets. By bringing the conversation to anglers, conservationists, and coastal communities, they’re helping shine a light on the importance of protecting inshore habitats and fisheries for the future. Through these discussions, the message is reaching a wider audience and building momentum for healthier flats and sustainable fisheries.
