* BIG $400 prize from Anaconda!!
Posted on Tuesday, 26 January 2010
The success of Redmap depends on fishers, divers and the general community being aware that there is a website where they can log sightings of marine species that are unusual in Tassie! So.........we have just launched a very special competition where you can win some BIG prizes for helping us get the word out there.
Anaconda has kindly donated TWO $400 vouchers that can be spent on the winners’ choice of Anaconda exclusive products! On our registration page there is a little box that says "who suggested you sign up for the Redmap newsletter?" Each time someone puts YOUR name in there, you go into the Anaconda prize draw!
Tell your mates about Redmap and you can win - too easy! The winners for these fantastic prizes will be drawn at the end of February and the end of March. Don’t forget that each month ALL Redmap subscribers also go into a prize draw to win a $50 voucher kindly provided by Mures fishing. Between these two Redmap competitions you can pick up some fresh fish from Mures when you don’t have any luck out on the water AND you can kit yourself out with some awesome new fishing gear from Anaconda to improve your chances of catching a good feed!
Good luck!
The Redmap Team
* Doug Wyatt our first Mures voucher winner!
Posted on Wednesday, 20 January 2010
The first winner of our monthly prize draw for a $50 voucher from Mures Fishing is Doug Wyatt! Congratulations Doug - now you'll still be able to have some fabulous fresh fish on days you can't get out to catch your own. When we contacted Doug he told us about the Sommers Bay Fishing Competition on this weekend - entry forms are available at the Murdunna Shop or the Dunalley Hotel. If you go along to the comp don't forget to keep an eye out for critters to log on Redmap!
Our next prize draw for the Mures voucher will be February 15th - make sure you sign-up for our quarterly newsletter before then if you haven't done so already. Our first newsletter will be out in mid-February with all the details of what unusual species have been spotted around the State lately (jncluding some turtles). The newsletter will also feature some of the community groups involved in Redmap as well as little bit of information about some marine science happening around our State.
The success of Redmap depends on fishers and divers being aware we exist!! So....we are launching a very special competition this Saturday, January 23rd where you can win some big prizes for helping us get the word out there. More details about that posted on Friday!

Posted on Monday, 7 December 2009
Hi Redmappers,
We're pretty keen on getting the word out about Redmap, and so are Mures. All you have to do to go into the draw for this monthly prize is register for Redmap using the prompt on the top right hand side of the website. Registering is super-easy and it means that you'll receive our newsletter - we won't send this out more than quarterly so you won't get bombarded with lots of emails!!
You can use your Mures voucher on anything in the lower deck - fresh fish to cook at home, toys and goodies in the shop, a meal in the Bistro or a yummy snack in the Polar Parlour.
We'll have lots more prizes on offer soon - so make sure you register with us and tell your friends and family about Redmap.
Cheers,
The Redmap Team
* Redmap is now live!
Posted on Sunday, 6 December 2009
Hi Redmappers,
We're very pleased to announce that Redmap is now live and ready for you to Spot, Log and Map! Over the next few weeks you'll slowly see some of our archived data appear - these are the sightings that TAFI would hear about but have no where to put until the evolution of Redmap! Some are also sightings that we've been gathering over the past year from those of you that just couldn't wait until Redmap was up and running. Shortly we will also add some data on sightings from TAFI's Marine Biodiversity Research Group led by Neville Barrett. This group conducts SCUBA surveys around the coast of Tasmania and have spotted quite a few critters a bit further south than expected.
Our Redmap species list was put together from many different sources, including talking to lots of recreational and commercial fishers and SCUBA divers, as well as scientists, and trawling through old data and records. The Redmap species list will change over time and you'll probably see new species being added quite quickly - already we've got some verified sightings of a species not on the list (stay tuned for more details soon....).
Cheers,
The Redmap Team
