The POWER of citizen science and collaboration

Citizen scientists are changing the way we understand our oceans 🌊🔬

Thanks to thousands of observations submitted through Redmap, Reef Life Survey, and iNaturalist, researchers discovered that 91% of marine species range extensions around the Australian continent were previously undocumented in scientific literature. This highlights the critical role of citizen science in detecting early signs of climate-driven changes across Australia's vast coastlines.
