Join us on this Sunday afternoon and help contribute to the health of our amazing Yawuru Nagulagun (Roebuck Bay) ecosystem! We will be traversing the mudflats, measuring the health of our important seagrass meadows as well as enjoying the colours of the stunning Kimberley sunset. Look out for a range interesting creatures as well as the interconnecting tracks where dugongs have feasted across the meadows. 

We will start the afternoon at 16:15 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 near the Town Beach boat ramp, see the location details below. Contact Alex our Seagrass Officer if you need help locating us or have any questions about the survey.
