Completion of clay trail at Gull Road drain in the Peel harvey catchment, Western Australia

Our #HealthyEstuariesWA team are working on trials using phosphorus-binding clay as a way to prevent harmful algal blooms in our waterways.
The results of a recent trial at Gull Road drain in the #BindjarebDjilba (Peel-Harvey estuary) catchment look very promising; they were able to reduce the phosphate concentration in treated water by up to 95%.
Watch Dr Svenja Tulipani and Ryan Kam talk you through the project.
The clay production and distribution have been funded by the State Government's Bindjareb Djilba Protection Plan and Healthy Estuaries WA programs. Learn more: estuaries.dwer...
The department would like to acknowledge the Bindjareb Noongar people whose traditional lands this trial took place on, and we pay our respect to Elders past and present.
