The Derwent Estuary Program recently initiated a recovery project for the endangered spotted handfish, with RLS assisting to establish a core group of local divers that can assist in monitoring a couple of key handfish populations in the Derwent Estuary. The second survey weekend for this project was held over the 12th and 13th March to survey handfish not far from the centre of Hobart and, like the first, was incredibly successful.
