Some of these waterbugs are very sensitive to pollution and so through their presence or absence\, we are able to determine whether a particular waterway is healthy or not. The data collected is nationally recognised and is shared with our local councils to provide up to date information about the health of our waterways. Collecting and identifying these waterbugs also happens to be a whole heap of fun!\n \nCome along to one of our surveys and learn how to collect a waterbug sample\, and how to sift through\, collect and identify dozens of different waterbugs. You will also learn how to score each bug on the pollution sensitivity scale to arrive at your overall water quality rating. We promise you\, you will be amazed at the quantity and the diversity of waterbugs that exist in our waterways!\n \nAlso\, seize the opportunity to use our state of the art water quality probe to record vital data regarding our local water composition! Water pH\, oxygen levels\, temperature and other parameters can have a huge impact on the quality of our waterways which the Water Quality program assesses through monthly readings. We also rely on our volunteers to record observational details that could effect waterbug numbers or the water quality reading such as current and recent weather conditions\, visible rubbish and pollution\, weeds\, site usage or disturbance\, and wildlife sightings.\n \n \nCoordinated by The Gold Coast Catchment Association and supported by the City of Gold Coast (Catchment Management Unit)\, the Water Quality Monitoring program is a collaborative effort between Gecko\, Coomera River Catchment Group\, Nerang River Keepers\, Austinville Landcare & Somerset College\n \nWe are heading out with the Coomera Crew! Location to be confirmed. 9-11am.\n \nWhat to bring\n \n*Gum boots/water shoes. No one will be permitted to enter the water without shoes due to safety concerns.\n \n*Sun protection: Natural non-polluting sunscreen\, wide-brimmed hat\, long sleeves\n \n*Towel\n \n*Lots of drinking water\n \n*Glasses/contact lenses\n \n*Pen/pencil\n \nPlease make sure to register to get all the updates on locations and times! This program is suitable for all age levels.\n \n \nWebsite: www.goldcoastcatchments.org/citizenscience\n \nEmail: info@watergum.org URL:https://watergum.org/event/waterbugs-and-water-quality-survey-coomera/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Brisbane:20191019T100000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Brisbane:20191019T130000 DTSTAMP:20190913T024152Z CREATED:20190913T024152Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190913T024152Z UID:8798-1571479200-1571490000@watergum.org SUMMARY:Naturally Gold Coast Festival DESCRIPTION:Discover everything that’s essentially Naturally Gold Coast with our family-friendly environment festival.\nLearn about our local native flora with native plant sales\, native garden experts and environmental weed displays.\nYou can also get up close with our native fauna with native bees\, waterbugs and wildlife encounters or get the kids into nature craft activities and learn how we can all switch screen time for green time with NaturallyGC.\nSuitable for all ages.\nSupported by Division 11 Councillor Hermann Vorster URL:https://watergum.org/event/naturally-gold-coast-festival/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
