Karumba has long been known as one of Queensland's last true fishing towns, built on generations of commercial fishing, tourism and a tight-knit community spirit. But there's growing uncertainty about the future of the Gulf town following the shock closure of seafood giant Raptis, Australia's largest wild-caught prawn operator.

The company had worked the waters off Karumba for six decades, and many locals fear the closure could have far-reaching consequences for jobs, local businesses and the town's future. One of those business owners is Yvonne Tunney, who runs a local fish and chip shop in Karumba - Ash’s At The Point Cafe and she says local Gulf seafood is the cornerstone of her business. Yvonne joins Burty to unpack the impact.
