Fri 18-Sun 20, Locations TBA

Bush Regeneration - every Mon morning

Fish Survey

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.

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

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

Join in and contribute to the restoration of this beautiful part of the NSW coast. No experience is required as training is given, so come along for a rewarding experience while learning new skills and making new friends.

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.
