Our researchers are a key part of the Goyder Institute’s Citizen Science outreach
Environment Institute members, Associate Professor Luke Mosley andÌýProfessor Michelle Waycott research is helping the Coorong community.
Goyder Institute for Water Research scientists are excited to be working together with citizen scientists as part of Phase 1 of theÌýHealthy Coorong Healthy Basin ProgramÌý(±á°ä±áµþ).
November 2020 marks the 35th anniversary of the Coorong and Lakes Alexandrina and Albert wetland becoming an internationally recognised Ramsar Site and the Coorong National Park is ‘Park of the Month.’ Researchers will be participating in the upcoming pilot Coorong Bioblitz, where community members will join them to learn about research activities that contribute to the Coorong’s health, including:
Goyder Institute researchers Dr Qifeng Ye (SARDI), Professor Sabine Dittmann (Flinders University) and Associate Professor (the ³ÉÈË´óƬ) also recently provided video footage of their HCHB research forÌýÌýfilm, with Professor (Department for Environment and Water and the ³ÉÈË´óƬ) narrating the science section.
Ìýfilm was developed by the Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board who screened the film during National Science Week 2020. AÌýquestion and answer Ìýfollowed the film with a panel of Goyder research scientists who all work on the Healthy Coorong, Healthy Basin program plus John Gitsham, Head Ranger for the Coorong National Park and President of Birds SA.

- which birds call the Coorong home, when and why
- why macroinvertebrates (and other creepy crawlies) are so important to the health of the system
- what changes we’re hoping to see within the aquatic plant communities as the health of the system improves
- what qualities the water and sediments need to have to sustain a healthy ecosystem for plants, waterbirds and fish
- how fish populations are monitored in the Coorong.
