The wonder and the beauty of the ocean. Snorkeling

The wonder and the beauty of the ocean. Snorkeling with these gentle giants is a privilege. Grey nurse sharks are critically endangered in NSW and need no take sanctuaries, in the same way a koala needs a national park. Support sanctuaries. Dr David Booth will be discussing sanctuaries at our sand sculpture event, @oceanloversfestival Sunday 24 March Bondi beach, in front of the pavilion. Come and build the marinelife you want better protected. I'll be building a shark. In partnership with @npansw

You can tell a lot about a grey nurse sharks by it

You can tell a lot about a grey nurse sharks by its spots! A shark's freckles are like its finger print and can help scientists recognise individuals. These sharks need more protected habitat. They have been protected for 40 years, but remain critically endangered in NSW. Like a koala needs a national park, a shark needs a no-take aquatic reserve. Beautiful to snorkel with these gorgeous chill animals. #saveoursanctuaries #30x30protection #30x30 #greynursesharkcensus #snorkel #visitnsw #oceanprotection #marinesanctuaries

The Eastern Blue Groper is now fully protected in

The Eastern Blue Groper is now fully protected in NSW. The groper is important for the well-being and mental health of snorkelers and swimmers who love to swim with these graceful playful creatures, and to the diving and tourism industry. Thank you to the government for listening to different parts of the community. Thank you to @afterglowmovingpics for this beautiful imagery, filmed at Gordon's Bay and Clovelly, Sydney.

Congratulations to the #saveparsleybay team: #sydneywater and the Abergeldie contractors and #woollahracounci know the community is watching this sewage works development in #vaucluse very closely, and expect to be briefed on any changes that affect the bushland and bay. We hope no sea horses are harmed during the sewage pump construction, through sediment wash off or other construction problems. We expect respectful treatment of powerful owl habitat, as discussed today. Community will continue to scrutinise this development over the next years. We hope for better #communication #transparency #bestpractice construction

QR to the petition! Our gropers are long lived and slow to maturity. We need more of them to tackle NSW burgeoning urchin populations and ensure the long term sustainability of our great southern reef. Also for our joy when we snorkel. Let's follow the lead of Victoria and Tasmania and fully protect our blue gropers. Read all about it and circulate!

Slow drawing at Clovelly today. Our workshop focus

Slow drawing at Clovelly today. Our workshop focused on referencing the coastal landscape and habitats around us, while we enjoyed pattern making and the good company. We looked at the natural designs in plants, shells, algae and ocean as a simple way to connect to the moment and the surrounds. It's about enjoyment and community!
Thanks to @randwickcouncil for supporting us!
