Fish Survey training and dives - Workshop Thurs 27th Sept Dives Sun 7th Oct

Volunteer divers will be trained to participate in HarbourKeepers & CoastKeepers survey of marine fish in NSW. The Fish Survey project provides a means for the dive community to contribute to marine conservation by gathering data on the population and distribution of 50 NSW marine fish. HarbourKeepers forwards this data to BioNet, Project AWARE and other agencies.

Training consists of a 3 hour fish identification workshop and two training dives. Divers who successfully complete training are able to incorporate Fish Surveys into their normal dive activities and join organised Fish Survey events. Successful completion of the HarbourKeepers Fish Survey course also results in PADI certification as a Project AWARE Fish Identification speciality diver.

Dive equipment for HarbourKeepers Fish Survey training is generously supplied by Plunge Diving - HarbourKeepers primary dive supporter. Click here to visit Plunge Diving's website.

This project has been assisted by the New South Wales Government through its Environmental Trust.

Bush Regeneration - Hermitage Foreshore - Vaucluse - Sun 21st

Calling all HarbourKeepers - Sydney Harbour needs you!

The beautiful Hermitage Foreshore in the Sydney Harbour National Park in Vaucluse is suffering from a weed invasion that is nudging out native plant species and not providing the correct foods or habitats for native animals.

This is a chance to be involved in a new conservation project from the beginning. You will learn about native plants and wildlife and make a real difference to the conservation of Sydney Harbour. No experience is required as you will work under the guidance of skilled natural area managers from the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Read more about HarbourKeepers work along the Hermitage Foreshore here.
