EDUCATION
Phosphorus Awareness Project
The Phosphorus Awareness Project (PAP) is an education campaign that educates the general community about the impact of too many nutrients in the Swan and Canning River systems and wetlands and how to reduce those levels.
The PAP aims to see a decrease in nutrient loads and algal blooms through changes in community and industry behaviour and practices resulting in biodiverse and sustainable rivers and wetlands throughout the Perth Metropolitan Area. PAP, formally known as the Phosphorus Action Group (PAG), was formed in October 1998 as a sub group of the Canning Catchment Coordinating Group, now SERCUL. PAP is managed by Project Manager, Natasha Bowden, hosted by SERCUL and is supported by the Rivers and Estuaries Branch, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
