The Wynnum, Manly and Lota foreshores are part of the Bayside Parklands which is a 16-kilometre green ribbon of connected parks on the edge of Moreton Bay. The parklands stretch from Whyte Island in the north, fringe the Wynnum/Manly/Lota foreshores and include bushlands around Tingalpa and Lota Creeks in the south. These parklands conserve the remaining tidal wetland and bushland habitats in the area and shelter many wildlife species. The foreshore parks overlook the tidal flats of Moreton Bay Marine Park, an important feeding and resting ground for migratory wading birds.
The intertidal zone at Manly Foreshore is teeming with a fascinating variety of creatures. This ever-changing habitat is full of weird and wonderful organisms that capture the curiosity of all who explore it. In the Prep program, Living by the Bay and the Year 1 program Habitat Heroes, students spend time discovering the intertidal zone firsthand. They closely examine the unique features and adaptations of the plants and animals that call this habitat home, gaining hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of how life thrives in this dynamic coastal environment.
