Sydney Fish Market (SFM) would like to congratulate the Hon. Tony Burke MP, Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry for assisting OceanWatch Australia in securing $2.6million of much needed funding for its SeaNet program.

“The Minister Burke’s announcement today illustrates how necessary the work undertaken by OceanWatch is” said Grahame Turk, Managing Director, Sydney Fish Market.
SFM has proudly supported OceanWatch Australia since its inception in 1989 and are very pleased to see that Australian Government has recognised the importance of its extension program in facilitating industry best practice.
