Bush Regeneration - Sat 19, 09.00-12.30
Happy Valley, La Perouse, Botany Bay National Park
This
beautiful oasis needs your help! Join a group of dedicated volunteers
for a fun morning helping to preserve this unique coastal area. The Botany
Bay NP is home to over 350 plant species and shelters a remnant of the
vegetation once typical along the Sydney coast. However the park's location,
surrounded by high-density development, makes it particularly vulnerable
to weeds.
Work alongside experts from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife
Service to combat weeds and reclaim the land for native plants. No experience
required, tools and training provided.
International Clean Up The World Weekend
Fri 18 - Sun 20
Marine
debris is responsible for the deaths of 100,000 marine mammals and turtles
and 1 million seabirds every year! You can help put a stop to this tragic
and needless loss by joining a HarbourKeepers & CoastKeepers underwater
or foreshore clean up event.
Check back closer to the date for event details or contact
Dave if you are interested in organising a clean up event.

NSW coast. No experience is required as training is given, so come along

Fish Survey
CoastKeepers
dive groups complete Fish Surveys all along the NSW coast. CoastKeepers
Fish Surveyors are volunteer divers who wish to give something back to
the marine environment they love.
Read more about CoastKeepers Fish Surveys here
and read about the various dive groups who are involved in Fish Surveys
here.
Divers or dive groups wishing to take part should contact
Dave to register their interest.
This project has been assisted by the New South Wales
Government through its Environmental Trust.

Eastern Suburbs Fish Survey - Sun 06
On
the first Sunday of every other month a group of volunteer divers complete
a CoastKeepers Fish Survey at various sites along the eastern suburbs
of Sydney including Ben Buckler at N Bondi, Gordon's Bay and Bear Island.
Coastkeepers forwards the data from these surveys to BioNet, Project AWARE
and the Manly Environment Centre.
