Start your weekend by participating in vital research of our incredible seagrass meadows! Take in the vast exposed mudflats and beautiful colours of 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 will start the morning at 5:15am with snacks and refreshments, followed by a safety and training induction before commencing the survey across the mudflat. 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 will 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 potential sharp rocks/coral. We will provide boots you can borrow if you do not have your own.
Please meet Alex our Seagrass Officer at the Demco rotunda, see the map below. Be sure to take the turn off at Clementson Street, as google maps can sometimes take you to Demco estate. You can contact Alex anytime if you need help locating us or have any questions about the project.
Distance from town centre: 5 minutes
