SUMMER BY THE SEA IS OVER AFTER A RECORD SEASON
Coast Action/Coastcare’s “Summer by the Sea” has finished for another year, and what a year it was.
An historic meeting took place in Bairnsdale recently to discuss what actions could be undertaken to assist the ecological recovery of the Boole Poole Peninsula.
Members of the Friends of the Gippsland Lakes and Bairnsdale & District Field Naturalists Club and staff from Parks Victoria, DSE and East Gippsland CMA attended the meeting. A wide range of possible actions that could be undertaken to enhance and reinvigorate the coastal and forest ecosystems found on the peninsula were discussed.
