Seagrass Volunteers Wanted
Seagrass monitoring starts on Sunday February 28th 3:30pm at Town Beach.
Under guidance of a team leader, volunteers meet every three months to monitor seagrass in Roebuck Bay. Volunteers are vital to monitoring and everybody is welcome! Bring a hat, water bottle and closed shoes. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Seagrasses are one of the most important plants on the planet. They are the basis of the food web in the ocean, absorb nutrients from runoff and stabilise sediment. Seagrass is food for turtles and dugongs and habitat for thousands of smaller marine animals, playing a vital role in sustaining fisheries.
