Join us for an early morning adventure as we set out to monitor the health of our local seagrass meadows! Enjoy the pindan track that leads us to the incredible Black Ledge site. Look out for plenty of intertidal critters crawling in the mud as we make our way across the exposed seagrass meadow, collecting important ecological data which helps us to protect Yawuru Nagulagun Roebuck Bay.

We’ll start the morning at 5:30am with snacks and refreshments, followed by a safety and training induction before commencing the survey across the mudflats.  Please ensure you bring the following:

• Sun protection: The Kimberley sun packs a punch! Please ensure you wear protective clothing such as t-shirt/long sleeve shirt, hat and sunscreen.
• Water bottle: Save waste and bring your own bottle - we'll provide water to re-fill.
• Reef shoes: The mud flats are very sticky! We recommend you wear reef boots to protect your toes from the many intertidal creatures and sharp rocks/coral. We'll provide boots you can borrow if you do not have your own.

Please meet Alex, our Seagrass Officer, at the location below. Contact Alex (details below) if you need help locating us or have any questions about the project.
