Extending the success of REDMAP Australia to Queensland (Old ID 26308)
Role
Principal Investigator
Description
REDMAP (Range Extension Database & Mapping project) is a citizen science initiative inviting fishers, divers and boaters to submit photographs of unusual fish sightings to an interactive website (www.redmap.org.au). The project seeks to inform, engage and educate fishers, divers and boaters about fish that are shifting southwards in accordance with warming waters. This project will roll out this initiative across Queensland through public talks at fishing and diving clubs in conjunction with the distribution of brochures, dive plans and stickers highlighting the fish species for citizen scientists to keep a look out for while they are on or in the waters.
