Federation University Australia and the Centre for eResearch and Digital Innovation (CeRDI) is undertaking an important research project on citizen science.
It wants to hear from coordinators and program leaders of all community-based water monitoring and freshwater/estuarine citizen science programs in Australia to ask about their views and experience working with their program.
The study will help to build a crucial baseline understanding of the nature and extent of programs in Australia and will fill a critical knowledge gap about the impact of citizen science on catchment management and decision-making.
The research findings for this study will be used to inform the planning and development of citizen science and community monitoring programs in order to maximise their purpose and potential in contemporary natural resource management.
The survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. All participants will be sent a summary copy of the results and you and your program will be assured of complete confidentiality.
