Luca’s Legacy- Clean up Event Mandurah

In 2019, Luca, a 1-year old calf was observed entangled in fishing line. Luca was rescued and the fishing line removed but would soon become entangled another two times after this. Unfortunately, during the third disentanglement attempt, Luca sadly passed away. In response to Luca’s death, an annual clean-up event ‘Luca’s Legacy’ has been set up to remove fishing line and other waste from the Mandurah waterways.

Save the date for our 5th annual event, Sunday 27th October as we join Estuary Guardians, Coastal Waste Warriors and Mandurah Cruises to clean Creery Wetlands and the Dawesville Cut area. We will be based at Site 1, Dawesville with a range of community stalls, a coffee van and a special announcement by Coastal Waste Warriors and RecFish West. We will also have kids’ activities, prizes and a free sausage sizzle for all clean-up participants.

Full information pack available here: Lucas Legacy – Information pack or check the run-down below.
