Fishing and wellbeing
A series of 15 second Let’s Fish SA videos have been made as part of the Let’s Fish Australia campaign led by the Australian Fishing Trade Association.
The videos highlight the wellbeing and mental health benefits gained from casting a line. The videos were made possible by funding from the Government of South Australia through the Statewide Wellbeing Strategy, which is led by Wellbeing SA.
