Join us for a hands-on adventure and scientific exploration through the mangrove forests of Currumbin Creek and discover why these unique coastal trees are some of the most important ecosystems on Earth.
The Mangrove Explorers won't just learn about mangroves; they will use scientific equipment and measures to learn to monitor the health of these vital parts of our natural and urban environment.
In this interactive program, children will:
🦐 Explore how mangroves act as nurseries for fish and crabs
🦢 Discover the wildlife that calls mangroves home
🌊 Learn how mangroves protect our coastlines and cities from storms and erosion
🔬 Dive into science with real-world experiments and observations
This is a fun, immersive experience where science meets nature — perfect for curious kids aged 8–12. Participants will walk among the mangroves, get their hands muddy, and leave with a new appreciation for these coastal guardians.
