Join us for an early morning adventure as we set out to monitor the health of our local seagrass communities! Enjoy the pindan track that leads us to the incredible Black Ledge site. Look out for plenty of intertidal critters crawling in the mud as we make our way across the exposed seagrass meadow, collecting vital ecological data.

We will start the morning at 5am 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 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.
