Foundation boosts citizen science capability

Citizen science groups from Queensland and New South Wales converged at the Great Barrier Reef Foundation to gain insights into applying for much-needed funding grants. 

Who was there?

The Foundation hosted representatives from its Great Barrier Reef Citizen Science Alliance for a one day grant writing workshop including:

• Tangaroa Blue Foundation
• Reef Check 
• Coral Watch
• Wildlife Preservation Society
• Spot the Leopard Shark
• Grey Nurse Watch and 
• Taronga Zoo 

With funding support from Boeing, the workshop is part of the Foundation’s commitment to help equip community-focussed organisations with the skills to sustain and grow their citizen science projects and actively involve the wider community in scientific research.
