In the heart of Tasmania is the Central Highlands region – home to some of Australia’s most pristine fishing lakes. With a small human population of 2,000 and a trout population in the millions the Central Highlands is the ideal holiday spot for keen fishermen.
In the peak fishing months of September through to March the population of its quaint townships are swelled by an additional 30,000 people!
As good as this is for the tourism and the economy of local towns, there is a historic issue surrounding the additional litter created as a result of the influx of people to the camping and fishing areas, during the fishing season.
Litter is often left to scatter into the lakes affecting its ecology and the health of its inhabitants.
