Matthew Essex

Matt is a second-generation fisherman who started fishing professionally in 1986.

What Matt loves about fishing: I love going to work knowing I’m providing fresh, sustainable seafood for NSW seafood consumers!

Why Matt cares about the marine environment: I think we truly have one of the best fisheries that keeps on providing, as long as we the fishermen do our part to look after the environment and ecosystems. There’s no fishing without a healthy marine environment!
