About ZKF
Rooted in our deep respect for nature, we control, manage, care for, and promote sustainable local fisheries that are WILD, NATURAL, and PRISTINE. We strive to protect and grow our Traditional Inhabitant fishing sector for economic, customary, and social benefit.
We are proudly a locally owned and independent commercial business founded in December 2020. We have 25 inaugural members – with five members representing each of the five island clusters of the Torres Strait.
Kaiwalagal, Kulkalgal, Maluilgal, Gudamaluilgal and Kemer Kemer Meriam.
