Help the Estuary at Home

Declining water quality and sedimentation are two of the most serious issues affecting the Leschenault Estuary. This program aims to inform community on the risks of elevated nutrients and sedimentation due to inappropriate catchment land-use practices, and assist in changing behaviours and mitigating management practices that pose threats to estuarine ecosystems

We believe that keeping the Leschenault Estuary healthy is everyone’s responsibility. Healthy waterways begin in our own backyards. Creating a low nutrient, waterwise and biodiverse garden is easy, and we would love to help you!

The Help the Estuary at Home component of the Leschenault Estuary Connect Program includes community awareness raising forums, presentations and workshops increasing knowledge and skills on how residents can help the estuary in their own backyards.
