Please ensure timely arrival, or the boat might leave without you.Seagrasses are a habitat forming species and they play a critical role in the equilibrium of coastal ecosystems. 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 everyone. If children under 18 years attend, parents must be present at all times.This is an outdoor event.Everyone attending must register as spots are limited.Everyone attending must wear enclosed reef/water shoes, bring water and sunscreen.
