SUMMARY:Waterbugs & Water Quality - Austinville
DESCRIPTION:Waterbug and Water Quality Survey\n\n\n\nLearn how to  assess the health of our waterways by foraging for waterbugs! \nYou may not have noticed before\, but our rivers and creeks are home to hundreds of different species of waterbugs! 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! \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! \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 Coordinated 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  \nWe are heading out with the Austinville Crew! 621 Austinville Road\, Cox’s Reserve. 8-10am. \nWhat to bring \n*Gum boots/water shoes. No one will be permitted to enter the water without shoes due to safety concerns. \n*Sun protection: Natural non-polluting sunscreen\, wide-brimmed hat\, long sleeves \n*Towel \n*Lots of drinking water \n*Glasses/contact lenses \n*Pen/pencil \nPlease make sure to register to get all the updates on locations and times! This program is suitable for all age levels. \nWebsite: www.goldcoastcatchments.org/citizenscience \nEmail: info@watergum.org

SUMMARY:Water Quality with Gecko - Currumbin and Tallebudgera
DESCRIPTION:Water Quality Testing\n\n\n\nLearn how to assess the health of our waterways through water quality sampling! \nSeize 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 and on the creatures that depend on them for survival. 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. \nThe 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! \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  \nWe 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. \n What to bringGum boots/water shoes.
