Green army for hot spot
![The GPWG has set out a proposed protected area.](https://images.thewest.com.au/publication/YA-118744/57e234448c578_b88251413z.1_20160921151039_000_g6imtdnf.1_1-1bu4d24.jpg?imwidth=810&impolicy=wan_v3)
A new group is hoping to gain insights from a wide range of local stakeholders into the management of Greens Pool in the hope of improving protection of the tourist hot spot.
The Greens Pool Working Group has been formed by concerned locals as the beach continues to grow in popularity.
A GPWG spokesman outlined the goals of the group.
“The Greens Pool Working Group is currently being formed and will be a team of people who work together to achieve better protection for Greens Pool,” he said
“Our aim is to enhance Greens Pool’s natural attributes and cultural values for all present and future generations to enjoy.”
The spokesman cited improvements in other regions’ natural protection. “Some local communities have already achieved this through better stewardship of their natural surroundings,” he said
“For example, Kalbarri Blue Holes, Quobba, Lancelin, Carnarvon and Cottesloe Beach have all achieved better protection for their marine environments.
“Greens Pool is also a unique and special place that provides an opportunity for a range of people to interact with ... a sheltered natural marine environment.
“We will engage in talks with a broad and diverse range of community groups, sporting clubs, business groups and individuals, so that the wider community can help to improve and participate in the stewardship of Greens Pool,” he said.
“We would like to establish a safer area where visitors leave nothing but footprints and take only their treasured memories and litter away with them.”
