Come enjoy your weekend by surveying the fascinating intertidal environment of Yawuru Nagulagun (Roebuck Bay). Follow the pindan track to the awe-inspiring Black Ledge site, where we will monitor the health of our vital seagrass meadows. Keep an eye out for the highly diverse range of mudflat critters and follow dugong feeding trails in the grass. Meet our friendly and knowledgeable crew and learn a thing or two!

We will start the afternoon at 15:00 with snacks and a hot drink, 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 our team at the location below.
