In the coastal town of Broome this year, the award winning Roebuck Bay Working Group is using a novel approach to marry up marine biodiversity with gardening. With Broome on a peninsula brimming with marine life, a gardening approach aimed at reducing pollution entering the surrounding waters has to be the right approach.
Collaborators in the gardening project are the Society for Kimberley Plants and Animals (SKIPAS). SKIPAS, a renowned landcare group in Broome specialising in the propagation of indigenous plants, will provide Gardening the Roebuck Bay Friendly Way presentations at the North West Expo on May 4-5, the Broome Shire will give away native plants, and SKIPAS will give away free books on establishing a native garden in Broome.
Roebuck Bay Working Group is comprised of Traditional Owners and government, local community, conservation groups and business. We work collaboratively to solve issues, raise awareness and encourage research and monitoring which supports responsible management and protection of Roebuck Bay.
