We are investigating the effectiveness of a newly developed clay. From 2016 to 2020 we trialed the clay at three sites, Punrak Drain, the lower Serpentine River and the Lower Vasse River.                                              <\/p>\n

The Serpentine River, which flows into the Peel-Harvey Estuary and the Lower Vasse River that meanders through the town-centre of Busselton and flows into the Vasse-Wonnerup Estuary, carry high levels of nutrients.<\/p>\n

The trials being undertaken in the Lower Vasse River are also part of Revitalising Geographe Waterways<\/a>.<\/p>\n
