Uses catch-and-release fishing

HeliFish says all of its trips use catch-and-release fishing, which means fish are returned to the water after being caught. The company presents this as part of its effort to look after local waterways and reduce harm from fishing activity. It also says it takes guests to remote places that other operators cannot easily reach, which it claims helps keep the impact lower while still offering the experience.

Builds trips around remote access

The company says its helicopter trips go to permit-only and remote fishing grounds in the Top End. It describes this as a way to spend less time travelling by boat and more time fishing in isolated areas. From a sustainability point of view, the main claim is that using a helicopter can reduce crowding at certain sites, although the material does not provide measured environmental results.

Says it prevents pollution

HeliFish states that it integrates pollution prevention and resource conservation into its operations. These are broad environmental management ideas: pollution prevention means trying to stop waste or contamination before it happens, and resource conservation means using less energy, water, or materials where possible. The page does not give a policy document, audit, or performance data to show how this is measured.

Supports Million Dollar Fish

HeliFish says it is a long-term supporter of the Million Dollar Fish competition in the Northern Territory. The competition encourages anglers to catch tagged barramundi for prizes. The company links its support to its fishing business, but the material does not explain any environmental conditions attached to the partnership or whether it changes how the trips are run.
