1770 Saltmarsh Savers
1770 Saltmarsh Saver volunteers completing survey
The 1770 Saltmarsh Savers is a citizen science project that collects data on the health of the Round Hill Creek saltmarsh. Our local Saltmarsh is an important and undervalued ecosystem.
Come along to our next 1770 Saltmarsh Saver Survey!
Our next survey will be 8 am August 2nd 2026. We will be heading out to survey a beautiful site in either Agnes Water or 1770.
If you would like to come along please RSVP to info@agnescc.org.au and we will send through the meeting time and location. These surveys are tide dependent.
Things to bring:
- long sleeves and pants (to reduce sun exposure and insects)
- enclosed shoes you don’t mind getting wet and muddy (reef booties are perfect)
- hat
- insect repellent
- water
What to expect:
We spend about 5 minutes at the meeting point discussing what we will be doing and where we will be going. Then a small bushwalk (5-10 mins) to get to the saltmarsh. We spend about 1 hour walking around the saltmarsh observing all the wonderful flora and fauna and also any impacts to the saltmarsh. The salt marsh is mostly sand and is generally a bit damp but not muddy, and has beautiful plants and shell life evident. Then we head to a local park to fill out the survey data sheets – this takes about 1 hour also.
Upcoming Dates:
August 2nd 2026 at 8am
Mark your Calendar!
Note: These surveys are restricted to adults and supervised teenagers that are 15+ years of age.
