Estuary citizen science programs

Citizen science adds value to traditional scientific research and engages the community in a meaningful way. Through this program we are embedding citizen science opportunities into our research activities. For example, in partnership with Edith Cowan University, Bunbury a citizen science monitoring project will be delivered to determine the food availability in the Leschenault Estuary for migratory and non-migratory shorebirds. We are also collaborating with OzFish, on an educational fish-focused citizen science program to inspire community action in fish habitat restoration activities.

The Leschenault Estuary Connect program will continue to engage community to be part of citizen science opportunities as they arise. Keep an eye on our events page to get involved in the next citizen science activity.
