“The recognition is incredibly encouraging, and the collaborative group is grateful to be recognised for our unrelenting efforts to reduce polluting nutrients entering Roebuck Bay and contributing to toxic blooms of the blue green algae, Lyngbya majuscula. This takes long haul dedication and serious commitment over the last 14 years and it’s fantastic to celebrate everyone’s passionate efforts.” – Kandy Curran

Working with Yawuru people and a small group of stakeholders, Roebuck Bay Working Group Inc. formed in 2005 to protect, restore and maintain the Roebuck Bay catchment into the future. The community-based not for profit has grown significantly with a broad stakeholder base, an army of volunteers and an outstanding reputation for collaborative respectful projects to reduce threats to Roebuck Bay’s high natural, cultural and heritage values. The Group’s collaborative Keep Our Bay Clean campaign (2005-19), has been effective in targeting the serious threat of surface and groundwater nutrient enriched pollution and Lyngbya majuscula blooms in Roebuck Bay.
