NOTE:
Ribbons of Blue is no longer operating from the Capes office due to funding cuts.

Ribbons of Blue is an environmental
education and water quality monitoring
network that raises community awareness, develops skills
and encourages involvement in our waterways.

Ribbons of Blue regional coordinators support local school and community involvement through curriculum linked activities, public events and liaison between other environmental networks. Each region focuses on local environmental and water quality issues specific to their catchment.

In the Cape to Cape and Lower Blackwood region, Ribbons of Blue supports the following schools:

• Augusta Primary School
• Karridale Primary School
• Nyindamurra Family School
• Margaret River Primary School
• Margaret River Senior High School
• St Thomas Moore Catholic Primary School
• Margaret River Montessori School
• Cowaramup Primary School

Students in our region participate in activities such as macroinvertebrate sampling in local waterways, water quality monitoring, catchment tours and revegetation and learning about river processes.

In 2008 the WA Ribbons of Blue network has launched the curriculum-linked teacher resource kit "Ribbons of Blue In and Out of the Class Room". The printed kit will be available to teachers in Term 1.
