• Gain hands-on experience and be a scientist for the morning & help collect a microplastic survey for AUSMAPs database - the largest nationally.

The Program will start with respected Aboriginal elder Aunty Maxine Ryan from La Perouse sharing her cultural knowledge, experiences, and stories of the local coastal area.
