They provide many key ecosystem services, such as providing a nursery and habitat for animals, preventing coastal erosion and sequestering a large amount of carbon dioxide. 7 species occur in the Gold Coast region and cover an estimated 22% of the Broadwater.It is crucial to monitor these change in order to be able to mitigate widespread loss . Ultimately by protecting the seagrass meadows the wider Gold Coast community will indirectly benefit from the sustained water quality in the Gold Coast Broadwater and surrounding region, ultimately, enhancing recreational fishing, marine tourism and providing the right framework for future generations to enjoy.The ongoing monitoring is supported by the City of Gold Coast Catchment and Citizen Science Grant program.Please note:This workshop is suitable for adults and children supervised by their parents.This is an outdoor workshop, appropriate footwear required.Everyone attending must register as spots are limited. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/labrador/seagrass-monitoring-at-loders-creek/100001978034080181 - **Event Categories**: workshops, meetups, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com.au%2Fe%2Fseagrass-monitoring-at-loders-creek-tickets-1978034080181 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Labrador - **state**: QL - **country**: Australia - **location**: Len Fox Park - **lat**: -27.95466 - **long**: 153.40958 - **full address**: Len Fox Park, Marine Parade, Labrador, Australia ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Ocean Connect (https://allevents.in/org/ocean-connect/22528855) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/5dbe7dea1425e70301d6a55082512bb7058b52329f8aec0c4260cc3c9e4a1756-rimg-w1200-h840-dc166fd7-gmir.jpg?v=1774099908 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/8b86603b1abb6c6db408165a4bee94731bd3babad4e42fdae8e41960600415a5-rimg-w400-h400-dc156fd7-gmir.jpg?v=1774099907 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 28 May, 2026 at 11:45 am (+10:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Len Fox Park, Marine Parade, Labrador, Australia - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 AUD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Ocean Connect - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** workshops, meetups, health-wellness - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Seagrass monitoring at Loders Creek ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Seagrass monitoring at Loders Creek", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/5dbe7dea1425e70301d6a55082512bb7058b52329f8aec0c4260cc3c9e4a1756-rimg-w1200-h840-dc166fd7-gmir.jpg?v=1774099908", "startDate": "2026-05-28T11:45:00+10:00", "endDate": "2026-05-28T13:45:00+10:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/labrador/seagrass-monitoring-at-loders-creek/100001978034080181", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Len Fox Park", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Marine Parade", "postalCode": "4215", "addressLocality": "Labrador", "addressRegion": "QL", "addressCountry": "AU" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "-27.95466", "longitude": "153.40958" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join Ocean Connects Marine Biologists for some citizen science to monitor the health of Gold Coast's seagrass meadows.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "AUD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-21", "availabilityEnds": "2026-05-28T13:45:00+10:00", "validFrom": "2026-03-21", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/labrador/seagrass-monitoring-at-loders-creek/100001978034080181" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "AUD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-21", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-03-21", "url": "https://allevents.in/labrador/seagrass-monitoring-at-loders-creek/100001978034080181", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Ocean Connect", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/ocean-connect/22528855", "description": "Ocean Connect is a local not-for-profit organisation that is entirley powered by volunteers.
