TWO BAYS TASSIE Pelican 1 is sailing down to Tasmania's East Coast on the 23rd of May to talk to a range of coastal managers and land holders about the possibility of running a similar program to Two Bays in Victoria. The program will focus on Great Oyster Bay and Spring Bay. Specifically the Two Bays Tasmania project aims: to develop a community monitoring and research program to better understand values and threats to coastal, estuarine and marine ecosystems in Great Oyster Bay and Spring Bay to undertake interpretation of the natural values of the bays to undertake forums and community events to explore coastal and catchment issues and opportunities to protect and improve environmental health as a major platform for managers to deliver key messages regarding storm water quality, water conservation, catchment health, and links to the coastal, estuarine and marine health.
