SUMMARY:Raft Count - Breakwater Team
DESCRIPTION:Join 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 \nRegistrations open 5pm 22nd December \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\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 Park Connect account and register for the relevant activity\n\n  \nRegistrations through Earthcare St Kilda and Park Connect are ESSENTIAL. \nRegistrations open 5pm 22nd December \nIf you have any questions please contact tia@earthcarestkilda.org.au \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Breakwater Clean-Up
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a meaningful day of conservation as we help clean up the habitat of our beloved St Kilda Little Penguin colony! \nRemoving rubbish is crucial – plastic waste can be ingested by penguins causing serious health issues\, while debris used in nest-building can prevent proper insulation\, leaving eggs dangerously cold and wet. \n======================================== \n𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: ESSENTIAL – click the link below. No registration means no entry to the breakwater on the day. Once registered via the link you will receive a confirmation email that includes the exact meeting point\, time\, and other important information. \n𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞: All our events are free. If someone offers to sell you a ticket please decline and report. \n𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫: Please wear enclosed non-slip footwear and dress according to the weather. It is often windy and cool on the breakwater. \n𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐩r𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞: Gloves\, vests and all cleaning equipment. \n======================================== \n𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑝𝑖𝑒𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑢𝑏𝑏𝑖𝑠ℎ 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝𝑠 𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑎 𝑠𝑎𝑓𝑒𝑟\, 𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑟 𝑒𝑛𝑣𝑖𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑢𝑖𝑛𝑠.
