Roebuck Bay is Australia’s best wetland for shorebirds, Australian snubfin dolphins, benthic invertebrate life and dinosaur footprints.  A Celebrate the Bay event attracted hundreds of people to Town Beach where they enjoyed learning about Roebuck Bay.  In efforts to protect the Bay, a study is underway by UWA, to prove that worsening Lyngbya blooms are caused by a combination of high temperatures and nutrients in groundwater runoff. With protection and management essential for a national treasure such as Roebuck Bay, Yawuru Traditional Owners have produced a cultural management plan to guide future planning.
