🎄✨ Our 2023/2024 Annual Achievements Report is Out Now! ✨🎄

This year, our citizen scientists have shown incredible dedication to monitoring and protecting Victoria’s waterways. 🌊💚

Here’s what was achieved together:
💧 400 sites monitored across the state
🐸 Data collected on platypus, frogs, birds, and waterbugs by 383 volunteers
🎉 Over 8,000 people engaged through citizen science events

This report highlights the critical role that citizen science plays—not just in gathering data for decision-makers, but in building community understanding and action for our fragile ecosystems. 🌿 While the challenges remain significant, the efforts of our community provide a crucial foundation for protecting what we hold dear.

📖 Read the report and see what’s been achieved, together: https://www.vic.waterwatch.org.au/cb_pages/files/2023-2024_EstuaryWatch_Waterwatch_AAR_final_03-12-24.pdf
