Water Quality with Gecko – Currumbin and Tallebudgera

May 29, 2021 at 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Water Quality Testing

Learn how to assess the health of our waterways through water quality sampling!

Help the team collect readings using our state of the art equipment. The Water Quality program collects monthly readings at select locations in order to assess the changing quality of our waterways throughout the year. We also rely on our volunteers to record observational details that could have an effect on the water quality reading such as current and recent weather conditions, visible rubbish and pollution, weeds, site usage or disturbance, and wildlife sightings.

The data collected is shared with local councils and highlights those areas where action needs to be taken! If you are passionate about the environment and keen to contribute to its preservation, we encourage you to come along and meet like-minded people while learning new skills and collecting vital data!

We are heading out to our Southern sites with the Gecko crew! Meeting time is at 09:00 AM at the Gecko House in Currumbin. Please be aware that samples are not necessarily taken at the meeting place and you may be required to drive to nearby locations.

Gum boots/water shoes. No one will be permitted to enter the water without shoes due to safety concerns.
