Get ready for an exciting splash into science, fishing, and protecting the planet! As part of National Science Week, we’re bringing you a fun and inspiring event all about fishing the smart way and keeping our waterways clean and healthy.

Join us for Reel Respect – Fish Smart, Keep It Clean, a special community event designed to teach us how to enjoy fishing while also looking after the environment. Whether you're already a keen angler or just curious about the world underwater, this is your chance to learn how to fish responsibly and be a hero for your local rivers, lakes, and oceans.

We’ve teamed up with OzFish and we’re thrilled to welcome special guest Lubin Pfeiffer — a YouTube fishing star who knows all about sustainable angling. Lubin will share cool stories, smart tips, and real advice on how we can all fish in ways that help protect fish, birds, and all the creatures that call the water home.

You’ll learn:

• How recreational fishing can affect the environment

• Easy ways to reduce your impact and fish smart

• Why every person counts when it comes to caring for nature

But that’s not all! We’re also launching the brand-new Citizen Science Corner at the library — a super cool, hands-on space where YOU can get involved in real science projects, help track changes in your local environment, and be part of something big.

Come along, ask questions, get involved, and leave feeling inspired to fish smarter and protect nature — all while having heaps of fun! 

Let’s fish for the future — together!
