SUMMARY:Saltmarsh Assessments: Cairns North
DESCRIPTION:Saltmarsh assessments are an extension of our citizen science project, MangroveWatch!\n As a team of 10 to 15 people, we will visit saltmarsh sites at the AFP, Airport Boardwalk, and PCYC to collect data on this often overlooked but an ecologically important ecosystem. Prior knowledge about saltmarshes is not necessary, as all training will be given on the day. \nBy joining us you’re not only contributing much-needed scientific data but will also come away with a deeper understanding of the ecological and cultural values of saltmarshes, as well as the many threats that they face. \nWe hope you can join us at our saltmarsh group expedition! \nPLANNED ITINERARY: \n9 am: Meet in the carpark of CAFNEC /carpool to AFP\n9:15 am: Briefing on assessment criteria and instructions\n9:30 am – 10:15 am: AFP Site\n10.15 am Review site results\n10.30 am: Carpool to boardwalk site\n10. 35 am: Boardwalk site\n11.15 am: Review results\n11.30 am: Carpool to PCYC\n11.45 am: PCYC Site \n12.30 pm: Review results/ debrief \nWHAT TO BRING: \n\nSun-smart clothing \nFULLY CHARGED phone or camera (with GPS) \nShoes or boots that can get muddy \nFull water bottle \nSmall bag to carry water bottle, clipboard, and camera \n\nWHAT WE PROVIDE: \n\nWorksheets and pens to complete each assessment \nInsect repellent, sunblock \nAdditional Water and Fruit \nCheerful company\n\nCheck out some saltmarsh flora and fauna on our iNaturalist project page: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?project_id=mangrovewatch-australia ( https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?project_id=mangrovewatch-australia )\nLearn more about saltmarsh monitoring here:\n\nFunding acknowledgement: This project is currently funded thanks to #CitizenScience Grants by the partnership between the Australian Government’s Reef Trust and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation.
