Start your day with a wonderful sunrise across the bay as you participate in vital research of our local seagrass meadows. Learn about the many ocean critters we may find along the way, whilst also looking out for dugong feeding trails.

We will start the morning at 4:45am with snacks and a hot drink, 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 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.
