Protect Our Local Duck Pond – Stop Fishing and Prawn Pumping

Our community duck pond is under serious threat. Increasing numbers of people have been fishing and prawn pumping in the pond, and this is causing a major disruption to the delicate ecosystem that supports local wildlife.

The pond is home to ducks, fish, frogs, insects, and countless other species that rely on a balanced environment to survive. Fishing and prawn pumping not only remove vital food sources for these animals, but also disturb nesting areas, damage aquatic plants, and upset the natural cycle that keeps the pond healthy.

To make matters worse, the water flow from the river into the pond is being blocked and restricted. Without clean, free-flowing water, the pond risks becoming stagnant, polluted, and uninhabitable for the wildlife that depends on it. This threatens not only the animals but also the enjoyment of families, children, and visitors who come to the pond to experience nature.

If we do not act now, we risk losing this special place. The duck pond is more than just water – it is a sanctuary for wildlife, a natural classroom for children, and a peaceful space for our community. Allowing fishing and prawn pumping to continue will destroy the very heart of what makes this pond valuable.

We call on local authorities and community leaders to take immediate action to:

•     Ban fishing and prawn pumping in the duck pond
•     Protect and preserve the pond’s ecosystem for future generations

Together, we can safeguard the pond, protect its wildlife, and keep this natural treasure alive for everyone to enjoy.
