Become a shellfish reef reporter

If you know the location of shellfish reefs, you can help by recording the information in the citizen scientist tool below.

Your information will help map shellfish reefs in NSW and guide future restoration and protection of these important habitats. Simply use your smart device to drop a pin on a map, upload photos and record some basic information.

If you are taking part in the recreational fisher survey for shellfish reefs, the Shellfish Reef Reporter provides you with an easy way to record the reef locations.
