You can help the Australasian crested grebe
When visiting grebe habitat, leave your dogs (or other pets) at home and move quietly and carefully around lake edges. Nests abandoned by panicking adults leave eggs vulnerable to stress and predators.
Keep boat speed low near lake margins to prevent wakes that can swamp nests or chicks, especially during the breeding season.
