Are you a competent diver and love to take underwater images? Please join us for a survey in the Tweed river to record the diversity of nudibranch in the river. Your photos will be added to a public data base and used to inform the City of Gold Coast of the presence and absence of these elusive animals. This citizen science project is showcased on the Atlas of Living Australia and nudibranch experts are involved to confirm species identification. There are limited spots available.
