Who is ECOFishers Queensland Inc? ECOFishers Queensland are a state-wide independantly funded incorporated association designed to help recreational fisherman to keep doing what they love doing. We as fisherman have to come together to get a strong voice against the anti-fishing brigade so all the mums & dads out there can enjoy their time on the water.
We all fish and promote a model of sustainability and aim to work closely with governments to achieve sustainable outcomes for the community and the resource. ECOfishers refute the extreme Green anti-fishing “preservation policy” of locking family fishers out and throwing away the key. We don't support the exclusion of low-impact family recreational fishing, from government’s so-called “sanctuary zones” in marine parks. That is simply an emotive term. These sanctuary zones “ are not appropriate for the vast majority of recreational targeted species. They are migratory and far too mobile to remain within any sanctuary zones.”They’ve got tails. They swim!
We need you to join ECOfishers, to grow the volume of the recreational anglers voice. You can't afford NOT to belong. Your rights are at stake and if we don't work together we will lose fishing as an Australian way of life for not only us, but our children and our grandchildren.
We are dedicated to ensuring your family fishing way of life is not further eroded by the extremists. ECOfishers representations are based upon sound science and reality, not Green myths. Ecofishers is not a political party nor aligned with any political party. Our alignment is for the rights and responsibilities of recreational fishers. We are totally committed to you and preserving your rights.

ECOFishers is a not for profit group that can only do their good work with the help of dedicated volunteers and kind donations from business and those people who love our lifestyle.
If we continue with the current attiude of "she'll be right and that won't happen here" and do nothing then nothing will be what you will be allowed to do. Politicians don’t understand ecology. They only understand numbers – numbers of fishers who vote!
