Students explore and investigate Narrabeen Lagoon and the ever changing dynamic of the mouth of the lagoon.

Students explore the interactions between people and place through examining both the biophysical environment and human activity in the local area.

Students will investigate natural processes such as the Collaroy/ Narrabeen long-shore drift and hypothesis management strategies to reduce the risk of flooding

Students will collect raw data from water quality tests in the lagoon, complete field sketches and analyse maps to make predictions and understand issues in this area.
