Last year, the Great Victorian Fish Count had well over 600 participants. It is not only Victoria’s largest marine citizen science event – it is the most fun!

NOTES from Kade Mills, VPNA organiser:

You can do as many Fish Count events as you like. In fact, the more the merrier. Some groups turn every dive or snorkel done between the 15 Nov – 14 Dec into a Fish Count dive and we love it.

A NOTE ON SHIRTS – Sadly, no shirts this year — funding didn’t come through. Fingers crossed for next year!

Kade will soon send out a file that has this year’s fish count fish if you want to print your own, and how to record your observations (As soon as we receive more details, we will add them here!). Any questions, feel free to email him at kade@vnpa.org.au

• Where: Anywhere along the Victorian coast.

• Time: Anytime during 15 November until 14 December 2025
