The Inshore Flats Project is a collective of industry professionals, fishing guides, lodge owners, filmmakers, scientists, fish biologists, writers, and passionate fly-fishing advocates united by a shared commitment to protecting Queensland’s inshore flats. We stand firmly opposed to the proposed new tunnel net fishery being trialled by Fisheries Queensland and the Department of Primary Industries along the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef coastline. Our mission is to defend these fragile coastal ecosystems and world-class fisheries. The initial focus is advocating against tunnel netting—now and into the future—so that our flats remain healthy, vibrant, and accessible for generations to come.
