PlatypusWatch Online Induction

PlatypusWatch has been monitoring Gold Coast platypus populations for over 12 years with the help of hundreds of Gold Coast volunteers. The data collected helps us to monitor their behaviour, their reponse to potential threats such as urban development and extrememe weather events, and provides us with an early warning system.

This workshop will educate you on platypus history, their fascinating biology and some of their most significant threats. You will also be taught how to correctly identify a platypus and the proper methodology for platypus surveying.

Once you have completed this induction you can join the PlatypusWatch family and join us in surveying platypus twice annually accross the Gold Coast, as well contribute to our daily Platypus365 Project.

This event will take place online, please register your attendance so we know how many to expect and we hope to see you at one of our surveys soon!

PlatypusWatch is supported and funded by the City of Gold Coast.
