24.01.2022 Coffs Coast Sea Slug Census update Hi all - we had some late entries for the second Coffs Coast SSC which have taken the species count to 94. Here is the update...d report with the 2 additional species added on the last page. Cheers, Steve

23.01.2022 Hi all - we have now compiled the results from the 3rd Coffs Harbour Sea Slug Census. With 100 species, this is the most successful event in the Coffs series to date - well done to all dedicated participants. The tally included 25 species that had not been found in the previous 2 events.

22.01.2022 The results have now been compiled for the third of our March Challenge locations. Spread across the coast of north-western Western Australia, from Coral Bay to... Port Hedland and centred around Exmouth, this was the first Sea Slug Census in the west of the country. The results are mind-boggling - so many species we don't see on the east coast, many of which are undescribed. A big thanks to local organiser Grace Keast for getting this event off the ground at short notice, and to all the participants! Feast your eyes on the 83 species found by the 70 participants!

12.01.2022 Do you have any upcoming events in your part of NSW? If so, we'd love to hear about them. We know that marine debris assessment and clean-up is happening in the Hunter area and also in Coffs Harbour. We are in the early planning stages of further state-wide, coordinated subtidal clean-up too. We'll keep you posted :)

10.01.2022 A local example of just how persistent and damaging single use plastic can be on our environment. #plasticpollution #marinedebris #plasticbag #coles #isthisyours #timeforchange #bansingleuse #everypiececounts #justsayno #rubbish #MoretonBay #QLD

07.01.2022 Only 3 weeks to go. We are keeping it simple for the first one. No need to register, just send us your photos and team member names as per the flyer below. There will be a brunch/lunch in the park at around 11.00am. (Thanks to Nicola and Tom for allowing me to use their flyer template).

07.01.2022 The results for the Third Lord Howe Island Sea Slug Census have now been compiled. It was a tough job given the fact that many species we found were undescribed.... We recorded a total of 86 species during the 3 days of the Census with an additional 25 species found in the few days leading up to, or just after, the Census. Thanks to everyone who participated - enjoy the collections of species images. See more
