Bush Regeneration - every Mon morning
Dunbogan - Gogleys Lagoon/Trevors Corner

The Mid North Coast Branch of National Parks Association complete bush regeneration work every Monday morning at Gogleys Lagoon and Trevors Corner in Dunbogan, a short drive south of Port Macquarie.

This is a great opportunity for anyone wanting to contribute to the restoration of this beautiful part of the NSW coast. No previous experience is required as training will be given on the day, so come along and gain some new skills while making new friends.

Work starts at 8 am and finishes at 11 am. You should bring morning tea, plenty of drinking water, protective clothing, sturdy shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent and a hat. The meeting place changes every week so contact us in advance to book a place and ensure that you have the correct meeting location. Contact Dave at daver@marine.org.au

CoastKeepers @ Bondi Fish Survey - Sun 6th

On the first Sunday of every other month a group of volunteer divers complete a Fish Survey at various sites along the eastern suburbs of Sydney. Ben Buckler at N Bondi is a site that we have frequently returned to as it is home to an amazing diversity of fish life, but we regularly dive other key sites including Gordon's Bay and Bear Island.

Fish Survey Training @ Narooma - Fri 11th - Sat 12th

A second group of divers from the Montague Dive Club (MDC) will complete Fish Survey Training over the weekend. MDC divers are a mixture of local and Canberra-based divers who share a love of diving along NSW's rugged south coast. One of a few groups to regularly dive this far south MDC is a great addition to CoastKeepers Fish Survey.

Bush Regeneration - Sun 27th
Muogamarra Nature Reserve, depart from Brooklyn

This is a unique opportunity to visit Muogamarra Nature Reserve, an area that is closed to public access for most of the year. You will be working in Peats Crater and Peats Bight in the northern end of the reserve. These areas originate from volcanic dykes and diatremes and were extensively cleared and grazed in the 1840s. The fertile soils have since been invaded by weeds, which are out-competing native plants.

Come and be involved in essential bush regeneration organised by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. Travel by boat to Muogamarra Nature Reserve then walk alongside waterways and through healthy bushland to access the sites.

Tools, training and morning tea will be provided, no experience is necessary. Boat departs from Brooklyn at 08.30 and returns approx 2pm. Booking is essential to ensure your place on the boat!

Fish Surveys - ongoing

CoastKeepers dive groups will be completing Fish Surveys as part of their normal diving activities. All CoastKeepers Fish Surveyors are volunteer divers who wish to give something back to the marine environment they love.

Dive groups are collecting data from key locations all along the NSW coast. The data they gather is collated by CoastKeepers to be used by marine managers to monitor impacts on the NSW marine environment.

Read more about CoastKeepers Fish Surveys here and read about the various dive groups along the NSW coast who are involved in CoastKeepers Fish Surveys here.
