Start your day by participating in vital research of our incredible seagrass meadows! Take in the vast exposed mudflats and beautiful colours of Yawuru Nagulagun Roebuck Bay, as we conduct surveys on the seagrass plants and seeds. Learn about the many ocean critters we may find along the way, whilst looking out for dugong feeding trails.

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 Demco Rotunda. Be sure to take the turn off Clementson Street - Google Maps can sometimes lead you to Demco Estate. 

Contact Alex (details below) if you need help locating us or have any questions about the project.
