About this event

Participate in a comprehensive seminar dedicated to exploring the life of dugongs on the Gold Coast. This elusive marine mammal that occasionally graces in the Gold Coast Broadwater and, in some instances, established residence. Delve into the latest research as we shed light on dugong behavior, their preferred habitats, and strategies for enhancing their protection within our waterways.

This enlightening session will not only provide an overview of current scientific findings but will also emphasize the importance of safeguarding these remarkable creatures. By understanding dugong habits and habitats, we aim to promote a greater awareness of their vulnerability and contribute to their protection.

A highlight will be the spotlight on the thriving community dugong watch initiative. This grassroot program has proven instrumental in contributing a wealth of dugong sightings along the Gold Coast, providing valuable data to a research databases.
