@protectwhatyoulove.com.au (PWYL) and @seadragonsearch (SDS) are hosting a community-led Seadragon Conservation Event on Sunday 1 March 2026 in the Portsea area from 9:00 am. The event will bring together divers, snorkellers, beach volunteers, scientists, and community partners for a coordinated ocean and beach clean-up aimed at reducing marine debris in key seadragon habitats. A representative from our collaborator 'Extreme Watersport' will provide a safety briefing and equipment for the beach clean-up.

We have reserved an area at the Rye Hotel Bar from 12:00 pm for lunch at leisure. Following this, participants will gather for a science presentation by Kade Mills, key Victorian SeadragonSearch team member, who will share the latest insights into seadragon conservation and explain how citizen scientists can contribute to ongoing research by submitting seadragon sightings and photographs. Presentation will take place at the Blue Water Room of the Rye Hotel at 13:00 pm.

The initiative aims to combine hands-on conservation action, citizen science, education, and community engagement, strengthening local collaboration to help protect Victoria’s iconic Weedy Seadragons and their habitats.
