Mary Releasing the Fingerlings at Lake Ginninderra
Recently Mary joined with members of the Canberra Fisherman’s Club to release 30,000 Golden Perch fingerlings into Lake Ginninderra, part of the ACT Government’s Fish Stocking Plan, and a regular program of stocking local lakes to improve recreational fishing.
Mary commented at the time that the release of fish into our lakes gives Canberrans greater opportunities for fishing closer to home. It also takes pressure off native species in our non-urban rivers and streams, provides better protection on threatened species in the wild and improves the biodiversity of our lakes.
