Coastal Projects - Two Rocks - Sea Wrack Management

Project description	The beach immediately south of the Two Rocks Marina has experienced ongoing sea wrack accumulation since the construction of the marina, particularly during summer months, resulting in issues with beach usability, public safety and odour. The City, in consultation with the Two Rocks Yanchep Residents Association, conducted a Sea Wrack Management Trial in March 2022 based upon recommendations from the Department of Transport Two Rocks Summer Wrack Accumulation Study. It was concluded that the results of the trial did not justify the ongoing implementation of this methodology for sea wrack removal moving forward and the City is currently assessing alternative sea wrack management options. The City sought feedback from the community on a number of alternate management options via the Two Rocks Sea Wrack Management Community Survey which closed in late February 2023. Following a review of community feedback and advice from the Department of Transport, the City plan to complete the following sea wrack management trial during a period of excess sea wrack accumulation: Development of a Sea Wrack Community Collection Point for the community to collect sea wrack to use as garden fertiliser or compost. Burial of any excess sea wrack in front of the existing dune to create a foredune.
