Fish Survey @ Bondi - Sun 3rd

Bush Regeneration: Gogleys Lagoon/Trevors Corner, Dunbogan - Mon 4th, 11th and 18th



Fish Survey @ Bondi - Sun 3rd

A group of volunteer divers undertake monthly fish surveys at North Bondi as part of CoastKeepers @ Bondi.

15 volunteers will be trained by CoastKeepersto undertake the survey with 10 of these divers participating each month. Through this training they will become PADI certified to identify and record fish species found in Sydney Harbour and NSW waters. The volunteer's regular surveys build a picture of what marine life lives at a selected dive site in Bondi over the 6 month project.

Participants in this project include marine biologists, underwater filmmakers, and key local environmentalists.

The CoastKeepers @ Bondi Fish Survey "hub" is one of the first of many CoastKeepers Fish Survey Hubs to be trained on the NSW coast. Click here to register if you would like to get involved. If you belong to a dive club or can organise a group of divers through a dive shop or other organisation and you would like to set up a Fish Survey hub in your area please contact Dave at daver@marine.org.au

The data collected will be provided to Waverley Council, to the Bondi Marine Discovery Centre and also to the statewide online database BioNet.

This project is supported by Coastcare and Hanson.

Please check out our Fish Survey pages for more information on the surveys!


Bush Regeneration: Gogleys Lagoon/Trevors Corner, Dunbogan - Mon 4th, 11th and 18th

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, drinking water, protective clothing, 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.
