Dr
Brad Law and Dr Geoff Williams will tell us
about the behaviours and environmental
requirements of two fascinating species of
aquatic mammals
- fishing bats and water
rats
(Rakali) -
that forage in, on and near Narrabeen Lagoon.
Yianni Mentis will explain how Northern
Beaches Council is working to protect the
environment, especially the water quality,
needed by these aquatic creatures. |

We hope that members of the local community will start to look
for
fishing bats and water rats in and around
Narrabeen Lagoon
and report all reliable
sightings for entry into
the
Atlas of
Living Australia. |
