         		 The port city of Fremantle has a proud history.

         		 The illusive Little Tern; an endangered and now protected species. As these birds are strongly migratory I was lucky to catch some on their travels. Meeting Matthew and Jessica that morning, I learned that the numbers of Terns have been diminishing for years until the Tweed Shire Council made a conscience effort to alert people to the species. Now signage is placed at the entrance to the beach outlining the plight of the Little Tern and their story.: by drewcpollock, Views[679]

         		 Mass Production -The mind boggles with the knowledge of the sheer numbers of fish caught within a world wide fishery industry. This image captures the sum total for this trawler for a hard and long mornings work. Hard working men, driven by the prospect of a hard earned dollar, the work doesn’t stop at the catch. These fish are process and transferred straight to the fish market.: by learning2c, Views[403]

There is much competition, with both large and small vessels vying for a piece of the action. Rarely is the dock empty.: by learning2c, Views[835]
     
    A fishing community. – Monument to reflect. This community has a long and strong bond with the commercial fishing industry and the Harbour. One of the main tourist attractions is the Harbour walkway, lined with references to the past and present success of the fishing industry in the region. This monument caught my eye, simplistically reinforcing to visitors the strength of the industry locally. Not unlike the reality of fish in nets, this monument reflects the daily activity of the region. : by learning2c, Views[423]
