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.
