My role at Wandarma was as a project worker for a program called Salt Water People and was aimed at Indigenous youth between the ages of 12 to 18 with
the goal of engaging them in water based sport activities. This program was offered in three communities Wallaga Lake/Narooma, Bega and Eden and required me to liaise with the community, schools, land councils, health
service providers as well as local outdoor tourism service providers. Over the 2 years I facilitated the saltwater people program we well surpassed the initial
attendance target. Some of the activities provided where; Surfing lessons, Stand up paddle board lessons, sea kayaking, scuba and free diving, Marine life education as well as engaging with local elders for education on culture around the water and it's marine life.
