Early Morning Seagrass Monitoring in Roebuck Bay

*Update* Our Tuesday morning survey has been moved from Demco to Town Beach—see you soon at Town Beach!

Join us for our seagrass monitoring event in Broome's magnificent Roebuck Bay! Enjoy the magic of the sunrise and see how many creatures you can see moving around in the mud as we record vital ecological data on the health of our seagrass.

We will start the morning at 5:15am with a hot drink and snacks (email us if you have any specific dietary requirements), 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. Contact Alex our Seagrass Officer if you need help locating us or have any questions about the project.
