Call for help from recreational fishermen- Hawksbill turtle
Wasn't quite sure where to put this guys but AFANT has been approached by ARK animal hospital in Palmerston for help with feeding an endangered turtle "HEFF” the Hawksbill Turtle.
Heff is an endangered Species. He has an excellent chance of recovery but it will take a long time (about 12 months). He only eats white fleshed fish such as Golden Snapper, Queenfish, Barramundi and Trevally but not Salmon. So if you catch a couple of the named species either whole or in fillets would you keep them (freeze them) and donate them to the ARK ANIMAL Hospital in Palmerston. Phone (08) 8932 9738

Is this a gee up down to only 3 goldies and you want us to donate a fillet for a turtle.. Jeffish AFANT want one of your goldies

Assuming the weather comes good on a weekend eventually Tristan, what are the chances of getting a chit written out from you guys or the Ark people to get a couple of extra goldies over the new limit for the little guy.
Oh I guess that will depend on if AFANT and Fisheries bury the hatchet or not I guess.

Always happy to donate to good causes, but is it not against the law to give away the fish you catch??

Helluva sacrifice Jeffish, well done
mako - I think it is only against the law to barter fish.
