 Sea Search recently received a government Community Action Grant to run workshops and Sea Search activities at Bunurong Marine National Park and Merri Marine Sanctuary. This is great news for the Sea Search program and it's volunteers, as it means we can run important species identification workshops which will not only attract new Sea Search volunteers and but will also build on and enhance the skills of our exisiting volunteers. Information regarding these workshops and activities will be circulated and put on the People & Parks website once scheduled. Stay tuned!

JAWBONE MARINE SANCTUARY SEAGRASS MONITORING 
The Friends of Jawbone were out in force with a few welcome extras we picked up along the way to monitor the seagrass beds at Jawbone in February. A great crowd and a great effort. A special thanks to Stephanie Mills and Hugh Kirkman who were busy comparing methods which will lead to making Sea Search seagrass monitoring the best it can be. |

Seven enthusiastic volunteers met up early at the Tooradin picnic area car park on Saturday January 16th to try their hand at the new Sea Search program – Mangrove Monitoring. Dressed in shorts, and a variety of footwear they were willing to share with the mud, participants were first given a run down on the monitoring plan which is designed to collect data on tree height, width, condition and associated animals and plants as a way to measure the health of the mangroves over time. |

Having expanded our program to now include mangrove habitat, our Sea Search program is going from strength to strength and we hope to see many new faces over the coming months. Our thanks to our regular and dedicated team of Sea Searchers, who help make this program so successful. |
