The Coorong is a unique and beautiful wilderness. For that reason it is of inestimable value to South Australia It is an elemental region, a place of wind and water and vast skies, of sandhill and tussock, lagoon and waterweed, stone and scrub.

Fishing in the lower Murray Lakes and Coorong region has been documented from as early as 1846.

From a peak of some 150 fishers in the mid 20th century, currently there are 37 licenses. The fishery retains an owner operator policy to ensure that those who understand the fishery and the environment are the ones who catch the fish. It is this that makes the Lakes and Coorong Fishery in South Australia so unique.

Today the Coorong also has a 47,000 hectare National Park which is not only wild but isolated and remote, the same could be said of the small group of artisan fishers working these waters.

Husband and wife team, Glen and Tracey Hill operate Coorong Wild Seafoods, they fish using low impact methods and are truly committed to working with the environment they are in.
