My Name is James Thomas, I am the eldest grandson of Guboo Ted Thomas and Anne Thomas, Tribal Elders in the Yuin Nation. My people are the salt water people of the South Coast New South Wales.

  My wife and I started this initiative to reconnect with our culture and create an industry on the South Coast that is sustainable for the the future of our marine life and the next generation.

Indigenous aquaculture is important to the survival of marine life and habitat helping reconnect indigenous people with cultural practices that will benefit our communities. 

We strive to collect and research traditional knowledge and share our journey with you.

My Name is Sarah Thomas I was born in Quirindi and raised in Murrurundi which means (Valley in the Mountains) growing up along the songlines of the great dividing range, Kamilaroi country NSW.

 My family connection to the south coast began in the early 1970's when my grandparents moved to the area from Sydney, building our first family home on the waterfront of Mummuga Lake.

It was my second home as a child and a special place for my family.

I have always loved the saltwater and the vast unknown knowledge of  the oceans ancient secrets, its our responsibility to look after it, maintaining cultural heritage and creating a sustainable future.

It's Important give back to the land and sea that provides so much for us.
