THINK PINK! SNAPPER GUARDIANS IS BACK FOR 2021😁🐟
Recfishwest needs your help to release thousands of juvenile snapper into Cockburn Sound at this year’s Snapper Guardians event!
Join us at Jervoise Bay, Woodman Point, on Saturday, 6 February, from 10am to hand-release these amazing pinkies into the important metro fishery. 🎣🎣
This community-driven event proves how much Perth fishers care about Cockburn Sound and its pinkie population.
As we all know, Cockburn Sound is a vital habitat for juvenile pinkies – and other species such as squid and blue swimmer crabs – and hosts the West Coast Bioregion’s only-known snapper spawning aggregations.
And, that’s why Cockburn Sound is a place that simply must be protected.
If you’re coming down to lend a helping hand, please note that Snapper
Guardians is a COVID-safe community event – everyone attending will be required to either scan themselves in on the day using the SafeWA app or manually register on the morning.

We’re urging abalone fishers to exercise caution this Saturday making sure they return home safe! 🏠
The hour-long abalone fishing window will go ahead this Saturday between 7am and 8am, with a medium risk forecast by Surf Life Saving WA (SLSWA).
However, abalone fishers should remain cautious of a forecast higher-than-usual tide which will increase the amount of water on top of reef platforms so don't forget your snorkel. 🤿
Everyone needs to take responsibility for their own safety while gathering abalone.
So, if you’re not confident in your swimming ability or don’t have the right swimwear, we strongly recommend you don’t go out on the reef.
We want everyone to enjoy this fantastic fishery on the city’s doorstep and that means taking the appropriate precautions and not risking your life and the lives of others this Saturday.
