Behind the scenes of what make pipis sustainable

Ever wondered where pipis come from or how they’re caught?

This National Science Week, discover, experience and taste local Goolwa pipis like never before.

You’ll learn the science behind what makes this fishery sustainable to a world-leading standard and how indigenous fishing practices continue today and are being safeguarded for the future.

Learn from elders past, present and emerging as we pay our respects to Ngarrindjeri land and sea country.
