National Science Week - was there enough science for you? If you are a #Waterwatch or #EstuaryWatch volunteer #NationalScienceWeek brought mystery sample testing. This important QAQC makes our data credible and useful.

Meredith would like to see what the original course of the Yarra River looked like.
Are there places of heritage and cultural value along the Yarra that you would like information about?

The Murray Cray is rare. So rare, it's been called a unicorn of the river https://t.co/G2EuLoupLm @jones_ann

Volunteers do so much for our communities so it's only fitting that today we recognised them, to celebrate 25 years of Waterwatch and say thankyou for their hard work in monitoring their local waterways @LisanevilleMP #WaterforVictoria

[Brad Drust @Brad_Drust]

Right this moment we're at the @TheStarCinema hearing what 20 years of data says about the @northcentralcma region's waterways from water expert David Tiller.

Next we'll thank the awesome @WaterwatchVic citizens scientists who have contributed their data - some for 20 years! https://t.co/UTlmG03fMM

The Victorian Government has committed to phasing out Opera House Traps in an effort to help prevent accidental drowning of #platypus and other native species. Great #conservation initiative to keep these iconic species protected! #ForTheWild https://t.co/XJ44U7VxP1

We’ve managed to safeguard two fledgling Hooded Plovers with our efforts along the Black Rock foreshore.
@BirdLifeAustralia confirmed the Hoodies success story last week following our installation and maintenance of barriers and signage along the Black Rock foreshore. 🐥❤️
