Watergum and Sea World Foundation have joined forces to create TurtleWatch Gold Coast, a
citizen science program that uses information from the community to monitor sea turtle activity on the
Gold Coast.
This course will serve as an initial induction to the program. Once you have completed it, you can start collecting data straight away! However, we do still recommend that you come along to an in-person event as well, there will be one coming up soon. At the in-person event you will get the chance to meet the team, ask questions and really boost your turtle knowledge.
