Fishers raise funds for sick fish tests

In Gladstone, due to an eruption of sick fish in the local water in central Queensland, people are worried and do not want to trust the government’s investigation about this matter. Thus the inhabitants said that they will do their own investigation concerning these diseased fish.  The Spokesman of Gladstone Fish Market said that a sum of $ 500,000 needs to be raised so as they can start the research.

The inhabitants are very concerned about this delicate matter and are investing on their own to allow them to move on with their daily life.  Their main questions will be answered after the investigation is that whether the harbor fishes are safe or not to work with.  Mr. Whittingham is expecting to have a large number of supports for their campaign and he want to create non-profit organization so as people can fund the researches.  It’s a very expensive exercise and they will need the contribution of the whole state to achieve this task.

This situation is due to the chemicals which were washed in the harbor during the summer flood which hit the country. Mr. Tony Burke said that the pollution affecting the water is due to the pesticides washed from some farming areas.  This situation creates lots of problem for dugongs, turtle’s population and other creatures.
