SUMMARY:Darwin Day - Snorkelling in Coogee
DESCRIPTION:Charles Darwin’s birthday\, which falls on 12 February\, is generally used to highlight Darwin’s contributions to science and to promote science in general. To commemorate his achievements\, the Club will head to Coogee this year\, to go snorkelling around the Omeo wreck and the maritime trail\, and discover and learn about the underwater biodiversity at this location. RSVP required for this event. \n\n\n\nA School of Rough Bullseye (Pempheris klunzingeri)\n\n\n\nThe Omeo wreck is located very close to the shore at Coogee Beach\, mostly submerged and literally covered with marine growth. Anybody interested in the maritime history of the wreck can navigate to the WA Museum website (museum.wa.gov.au/maritime-archaeology-db/wrecks/omeo) as it has some interesting information. \n\n\n\nWe will meet at the stairs on Socrates Parade going to the beach where the Omeo Wreck is located. Please note this is a very popular snorkelling and swimming site and parking nearby might be difficult. Leave plenty of time to be there at the starting time. The excursion is suitable for all ages and levels of snorkelling competence. Water depth varies between 0.5 m to 5 m. \n\n\n\nBring: snorkelling gear (mask\, snorkel\, fins)\, sun protection\, towel\, drinking water; optional a floating device\, underwater camera\, fish and or marine life ID book. We will go to a nearby cafe for refreshments afterwards but you can bring your own as well.
