Enjoy the stunning Kimberley sunrise as you participate in vital research of Roebuck Bay's seagrass meadows! Take in the vast exposed mudflats with the fresh morning air and beautiful colours, as we conduct surveys on the seagrass plants and seeds. Learn about the many ocean critters we may find along the way, whilst also spotting dugong feeding trails.

We will start the morning at 5:15am with a hot drink and snacks (email us if you have specific dietary requirements), 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 a t-shirt/long sleeve shirt and a hat.
• 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.

If you would like an idea of what the survey involves, please see our training video below:
