G’day legends

 

Thank you for coming to our screening of WHITE ROCK. It was incredibly encouraging to see such a strong, positive response from the local community.

 

Now it’s time to put ideas into action!

 

Sea Urchin Deep Dive

Join Jayde from Dive Eden on Saturday 24 May for a snorkel tour. Visit an urchin barren and a healthy kelp forest. See the difference for yourself. You’ll also learn how to safely collect sea urchins. Note that you need a recreational fishing license to collect your own urchins – available via Service NSW.

 

Tickets are available here: https://tinyurl.com/2h7d2zb7

 

Spaces are limited so book your spot ASAP!

 

We have a small number of equity tickets available. If you’re super passionate about ocean conservation, and you’re experiencing hardship, reply to this email and we’ll try to help you out.

Long Spine Dining

For those more inclined towards the lux life, we are planning a canape lunch in early June. You will have the chance to sample sea urchin roe in different dishes. Stay tuned for details!

 

If you simply can’t wait that long to taste the stuff, check out Ryan’s business South Coast Sea Urchins in Pambula: https://www.southcoastseaurchins.com.au/

 

Together we can control the centro!

 

If you don’t wish to receive further emails, please let us know and we will remove you from this mailing list

A FREE Community Planting and Weeding Session presented by Social Justice Advocates Of The Sapphire Coast and supported by Bega Valley Shire Council is scheduled for Saturday the 31st May from 9am – 11am at Bar Beach Merimbula.

We will be tackling a reserve adjacent to the Merimbula Lake, aiming to reduce weeds and revegetate with local native plants.
This will result in improving the water quality within the catchment as well as increasing biodiversity around the catchment.

Please bring enclosed shoes, gloves, a hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle.

It will be a great morning to get involved in grassroots care for our environment and local waterways.

Hope to see you there
