Another vantage point has been added to Perth’s network of coastal monitoring stations.

The ‘Quinns Beach Walkway’ CoastSnap station (https://www.spotteron.com/coastsnap/spots/1233261) has been installed by the City of Wanneroo along the North Mindarie Foreshore Walk Trail.

📸 Next time you’re out for a beach walk, stop by the station, place your phone in the CoastSnap frame and snap the view.
Your photo becomes part of a growing record of our coastline — helping us track how our beaches change from season to season, following significant weather events and over time.

This is the third CoastSnap station installed through Perth NRM’s Building Coastal Resilience project.

You can also start snapping at:
📍 Mettams Pool South Lookout (https://www.spotteron.com/coastsnap/spots/1233060)
📍 Iluka Beach Lookout (https://www.spotteron.com/coastsnap/spots/1233258)

Perth NRM’s Building Coastal Resilience Project is funded by the Australian Government’s Disaster Ready Fund and supported by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services WA .

CoastSnap is a global citizen science project led by the UNSW Water Research Laboratory.

We're thrilled to announce the installation of the second CoastSnap station under the Building Coastal Resilience Project, in partnership with Perth NRM and the City of Joondalup - Government.

If you are looking for something different to do this weekend, visit the Iluka Lookout, and enjoy breathtaking ocean views while checking out Perth’s newest CoastSnap station!

Iluka's spectacular coastline is not only a fantastic place to explore, but it's also an area that has been lovingly restored by the dedicated volunteers from the Friends of North Ocean Reef Iluka Foreshore in collaboration with the City of Joondalup. Their ongoing work has helped create a thriving coastal environment for both people and wildlife.

This new station is the fourth CoastSnap station in the Perth metropolitan area, joining stations at Mettams Pool, Mersey Point (Rockingham) and Waikiki Beach.

🌊 What is CoastSnap?

CoastSnap is a community science project that helps monitor how our coastlines change over time. Taking photos from the same location at different times of the year provides valuable data that supports coastal management and builds resilience to coastal hazards.

How to CoastSnap:
1. Scan the QR code and download the Coastsnap app.
2. Place your smart phone in the cradle
3. Take a photo and submit your image.

Every photo helps build a long-term record of coastal change, supporting better planning and resilience.

Perth NRM’s Building Coastal Resilience Project is funded by the Australian Government’s Disaster Ready Fund and supported by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services WA.

Thank you to the team from Enel X for joining Perth NRM and the Cottesloe Coastcare Association (CCA) at Grant Marine Park for a rewarding morning of coastal restoration!

Grant Marine Park has undergone a remarkable transformation since CCA began restoration works there in 2003. Much of the site's native vegetation had been lost to disturbance, w**ds and informal access tracks. More than two decades of dedicated community stewardship has helped restore the site into an important habitat for local wildlife and native coastal vegetation.

Working alongside dedicated CCA volunteers, the Enel X team rolled up their sleeves to hand w**d invasive species around newly planted native seedlings, helping to improve their chances of establishment during this critical growth phase. The group also completed some late-season planting of spinifex, an important dune-stabilising species that helps build resilience along our coastline.

Corporate volunteering activities like these highlight the value of partnerships in supporting long-term environmental restoration. Every w**d removed and every seedling planted contributes to healthier coastal ecosystems and helps ensure the legacy of community-led conservation continues for future generations.

The morning also provided an opportunity for knowledge sharing, with CCA volunteers learning from the Enel X team about managing energy demand and the role of smarter energy solutions in supporting a more sustainable future.

A big thank you to everyone involved for your enthusiasm, hard work and commitment to caring for our coast!
