Citizen scientists are changing the way we understand our oceans ππ¬
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.

Redmap sightings have contributed to a new paper in the Journal of Global Change Biology exploring the physiological mechanisms underpinning tropicalization β the poleward range shifts of tropical species in response to ocean warmingπ‘οΈ
Dr Barrett Wolfe discusses his latest paper, titled Continental-Scale Assessment of Climate-Driven MarineSpecies Range Extensions Using a Decade of Citizen Science Data, which uses citizen science data, including Redmap data with 3CR Radio
Eastern Rock Lobster (Sagmariasus verreauxi) are on the move! Do you know how to tell them apart from the common Southern Rock Lobster (Jasus edwardsii)? Help Redmap Australia track the southern expansion of this species by logging it if you spot one in Tasmania or South Australia!
Have you seen a Crowned Nudibranch in Tasmanian waters? You can help track the presence and distribution of this species around the state.
Scientists at Macquarie University are interested in your sightings of fish using rocks to open prey.
