Caulerpa taxifolia Removal - Thurs 16th

Unfortunately, this dive had to be postponed due to minor troubles with the ProDive boat. A NSW Fisheries Aquatic Pests officer, James Sakker, will be on hand on future Caulerpa dives to provide training. Divers will be taught how to recognise Caulerpa taxifolia as well as the native seagrasses this work is designed to protect. James Sakker will describe the preferred method of removing and bagging the weed in order to minimise any fragmentation and further distribution of Caulerpa taxifolia.

Previous dives have shown that the weed is fairly abundant in the North Harbour Aquatic Reserve.

These monthly bush regeneration activities are a great chance to socialise with your fellow HarbourKeepers, help look after Sydney Harbour and take in the scenic views! Newcomers will learn new skills while regenerating the natural bushland around Reef Beach.
