As part of our ongoing field work gathering data on rivers, creeks and waterways and the species that inhabit them, ANGFA Vic holds regular field trips. ANGFA Victoria has a permit to use Bait Traps, Fyke Nets and Seine Nets as well as Dip Nets for surveying activities, on a basis of catch, photograph and then release. Collected data is uploaded into the ANGFA Survey Database.
These trips are a chance for our members to get out into the creeks, rivers and dams of Victoria and see what lives in our local Victorian waterways. As well as being a fun day out looking at aquatic critters, field trips are a good opportunity to get to know other members better. So don't be shy, get out there, bring the family along and make a day of it.
Most field trips are family-friendly, with activities including walking, sightseeing, photography opportunities, netting from the bank and even full waist-deep netting, photographing from the field tanks and water testing etc. There are usually 1 or 2 overnight/multiple nights field trips per year.
Please note, due to the requirements of our insurer, only current financial members of ANGFA can participate in our field trip activities. If you are not a member, you are still welcome to come along – our membership officer will be quite happy to sign you up as a new member up on the day so that you can participate in the activities!
