We’re upskilling high school students along the length of the Reef to become citizen scientists by collecting important information about critical Reef habitats such as seagrass.

Seagrass supports the Reef’s endangered turtles and dugongs but is under threat from land run-off and climate change. The information collected through this project is helping fill an identified gap in information about seagrass health to improve data available for management decisions and building science skills for future Reef managers.
