The Year 11 General Geography class recently met with Kate Sputore from Perth Natural Resource Management (NRM) who oversees coastal management plans along the coast in Perth.
The class visited Scarborough Beach to learn about one of their current projects, weeding and revegetating the sand dunes to protect them from erosion. NRM are aiming to plant 20 000 seedlings in the area this winter, and have just done 2300 over the weekend. Along with fieldwork experiments to develop their understanding of coastal processes, landforms, and human impact, students completed some coastal restoration activities…also known as weeding, to help get the next section ready for more planting.
