Beach Monitoring Project
Next beach monitoring session
Sunday 7th June - 8am - Battery Point Carpark
PFCG has been allocated its own drone which will make us more self-sufficient when it comes to planning monitoring sessions. All are welcome to come along as spotters and if you are interested in training to operate the drone that can be arranged. The following dates are pencilled in for later in the year, as ideal from a tide point of view to do full monitoring of East beach. Exact dates and times will be weather dependent.

Once or twice a term students from local primary schools join PFCG and help measure sand levels at Pea Soup and South Beach. Drones cannot be used to measure sand levels on these beaches so a laser is used to make transverse and longitudinal measurements.
The council uses the data to inform its coastal protection and rehabilitation work.
St Patrick's Primary School and Port Fairy Consolidated School are currently involved with this project
