Chris Makepeace
Chris Makepeace represents the Amateur Fishermen’s Association of the NT (AFANT). He is the Executive Officer of the Association and is involved in many other recreational fishing organisations and events. Naturally, he’s a very keen angler. Chris also has a background in
education, public administration and publishing.
With more than 32 per cent of Territorians fishing and spending over $40 million a year in the process, Chris sees recreational fishing as an important part of the Territory lifestyle and economy. He identifies Darwin Harbour as the most fished location in the Northern Territory with some 30 per cent of all fishing taking place in the Harbour area.
AFANT’s objective, working with the Darwin Harbour Advisory Committee, is to ensure that the environment of the Harbour, its water quality and future development will ensure it continues to be a great place to fish for future generations.
