SUMMARY:Raft Count - Breakwater Team
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us in counting little penguins in St Kilda and learn from dedicated volunteers all about the colony! As a citizen scientist\, you’ll join one of two dedicated teams – each made up of five citizen scientists and one team leader. You will help manually count the number of penguins in each raft (group of penguins in the water) as they return home. This non-intrusive study is designed to collect valuable data on penguin arrival patterns and population trends over time. Your observations will directly contribute to protecting and understanding the Little Penguin colony in St Kilda.  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \n  \nWhat’s Involved:   \n\nBe part of a team of citizen scientists observing penguins from the St Kilda Breakwater and St Kilda Marina \nManually count penguin rafts as the penguins return home from feeding at sea \nHelp collect long-term data on penguin arrival patterns and population trends \nContribute to the conservation of Melbourne’s unique Little Penguin colony \nGet the chance to see and learn about a unique colony of Little Penguins \n\nProgram details:  \n\nDuration: Approximately 2 hours \nWhen: Monday\, Wednesday\, and Friday evenings \nStart Time: Begins 15 minutes before sunset (exact time varies with the season) \nWhere: St Kilda Breakwater & RMYS Marina \nWhat to bring: warm clothes\, water\, binoculars (if you have them). \n\nSite details: \nLocation: End of the St Kilda Breakwater  \n\nThe breakwater is an uneven surface\, so sturdy\, closed toe shoes are essential \nOne of the highlights of this location is that\, after the counts are done\, you’ll walk back through the breakwater colony\, experiencing the penguins up-close as they return to their burrows.\n\nRequirements:   \n\nNo experience needed  \nMust be aged 8 years or older (participants under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult) \nWorking with Children’s check (if over the age of 18) \nTo join this team you will need to create a ParkConnect account and register for the relevant activity on ParkConnect\n\n  \nRegistrations through Earthcare St Kilda and Park Connect are ESSENTIAL. \nRegistration open 5pm Monday 15th of September \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Undaria Clean-up Event
DESCRIPTION:Undaria pinatifoda (wakame) is an invasive species of kelp from the northwest Pacific Ocean. It was probably introduced to port Phillip through ballast and hitchhiking on vessels. The main issue with Undaria in Port Phillip Bay is that it takes up space\, limiting opportunities for our native kelps to get a foothold. It then dies back over summer leaving a distinct lack of shelter and food available for our native marine animals. Join us for a morning at the beach where we remove Undaria\, and make space for our native species! \nWhen: Saturday 18th October\nTime: 10am – 12pm\nLocation: Brighton Beach\, corner of Wellington Street and the Esplanade. Look out for Earthcare flags on the beach. \nWhat to bring:\n•Swim crew (snorkel gear and wetsuit)\n•Beach crew (gloves if desired) \nWet weather/water quality: Heavy rain typically means that Port Phillip Bay is not suitable for swimming. Our events will not go ahead in Poor water quality\, according to the EPA. We make the decision the night before. If you have registered via our website you will receive an email notifying you of an event cancellation. We will also announce on our facebook group the night before if the event is cancelled. \nChildren are welcome to join in and help with the counting. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Raft Count - Marina Team
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us in counting little penguins in St Kilda and learn from dedicated volunteers all about the colony! As a citizen scientist\, you’ll join one of two dedicated teams – each made up of five citizen scientists and one team leader. You will help manually count the number of penguins in each raft (group of penguins in the water) as they return home. This non-intrusive study is designed to collect valuable data on penguin arrival patterns and population trends over time. Your observations will directly contribute to protecting and understanding the Little Penguin colony in St Kilda.  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \n  \nWhat’s Involved:   \n\nBe part of a team of citizen scientists observing penguins from the St Kilda Breakwater and St Kilda Marina \nManually count penguin rafts as the penguins return home from feeding at sea \nHelp collect long-term data on penguin arrival patterns and population trends \nContribute to the conservation of Melbourne’s unique Little Penguin colony \nGet the chance to see and learn about a unique colony of Little Penguins \n\nProgram details:  \n\nDuration: Approximately 2 hours \nWhen: Monday\, Wednesday\, and Friday evenings \nStart Time: Begins 15 minutes before sunset (exact time varies with the season) \nWhere: St Kilda Breakwater & RMYS Marina \nWhat to bring: warm clothes\, water\, binoculars (optional). \n\nSite Details: \nLocation: End of the last finger of the RMYS St Kilda Marina  \n\nYou’ll be stationed on a floating platform surrounded by water. The platform may move slightly due to its floating nature \nFrom this position\, you’ll get to watch the penguins swim in from the bay and make their way to the breakwater to nest.\nYou will also be able to spot penguins on the breakwater using a red light torch provided by your team leader\n\nRequirements:   \n\nNo experience needed  \nMust be aged 18 years or older\n\nIf you have any questions please contact tia@earthcarestkilda.org.au \nREGISTER HERE
