Neil and Debbie Meyrick opened Aquablue Seafoods near Pindimar in 2006 as part of their sea change.

They moved from Sydney to open the business which breeds fish to restock dams and lakes anywhere on the east coast of NSW.

Neil is a serious environmentalist.

By establishing the environmentally-friendly business he is helping the environment for the benefit of future generations.

"If we work with nature then it can all work better for everyone," Neil said.

The business is concentrating on protecting the environment from introduced species of fish, such as the European carp.

To protect our waterways Aquablue will push for Australian bass to be placed in the water systems.

Bass are an ideal sporting and eating fish and help control the carp problem.

The Aquablue team has established an environmental system where nothing is wasted.

All of the water used on the property is recycled.

The water in the tanks where the fish are grown is recycled and filtered.

Filtered waste is then used to grow algae and other food for the older fish to eat.

"It is a pleasure working in a business where we can assist the environment," Neil said.

Aquablue is one of the first businesses in NSW that hatches the bass to be released into the wild.

Later in the year the couple is hoping to break into the seafood business and also start breeding saltwater fish such as snapper, whiting and bream.

A nature reserve also exists on the site where Aquablue has been established.

When the company was first started a visit from the Department of Environmental Conservation found that a rare flower was growing on the land they were building on.

Fifty hectares was set aside for a nature reserve around the area where the flower grows.

"It is a safe haven for native flora and fauna," Neil explained.
