What a fantastic turn out for mud sampling workshop on Saturday! We would like to thank all of the guest speakers who shared their incredible knowledge and passion for Broome's intertidal life: benthic researcher Grace Maglio, citizen scientists Taryn The Shell Dianne Bennett Sharmaine Donnelly-Chorlton and the fantastic team of wardens from the Broome Bird Observatory

Thank you to each and every member of the community who came along for the muddy adventure - from collecting samples in knee high mud to sorting the critters in the lab, we were so thrilled to see the care and curiosity for the amazing biodiversity Roebuck bay has to offer.
Follow along for updates on the large mud sampling survey in October led by Edith Cowan University (ECU) 🦀🪱🐚
