In 2024, the program debuted its first major project in Tasmania’s Tarkine region in collaboration with the Bookend Trust and NatureTrackers. Guests can participate in the Claws on the Line program dedicated to monitoring and protecting endangered freshwater crayfish species. They record data through the iNaturalist platform supporting vital research aimed at protecting these remarkable creatures and their habitats.
