At NICA's boat launch members of NICA celebrated the much-anticipated new boat 'Osprey', it has enhanced safety features and stability for volunteers.

Despite the the looming threat of Tropical Cyclone Alfred which delivered windy and showery weather, our fearless volunteers collectively filled an estimated 50 bags of rubbish. Additionally, heavy and bulky items such as mattresses, wooden pallets, kayaks, bicycles and car tyres were found and hauled out. 

Volunteers needed to help for a couple of hours per month on NICA's projects. Water Monitoring and River Watch invite NICA members to register their interest.

Clean-Up Australia Day is Sunday 2nd March this year and once again the whole of the Noosa community is encouraged to help remove any litter and rubbish from our parks and streets, waterways, wetlands and along the foreshores and beaches of our beautiful region.

NICA is delighted and appreciates receiving a 12 months Queensland Government "Engaging Science" grant.

Bruce McConkey and the Noosa River WaterWatch program have been inseparable for nearly 20 years.  During that time Bruce has kept his eye on the river tides, and has run a roster to make sure the band of dedicated WaterWatch volunteers were in the right place at the right time.
