Seagrass monitoring at Wave Break Island 1+2
Wave Break Island (Australia)De 22 Mar até 22 Mar, 2024
Join our Ocean Connect marine science team on their fortnightly seagrass survey to actively monitor the status and trends in seagrass conditions around the Gold Coast.
This event will be held at Wave Break Island, we will be meeting at the Marine Parade to board a small vessel to travel to Wavebreak island seagrass meadows.
Seagrasses are a habitat forming species and they play a critical role in the equilibrium of coastal ecosystems. They provide many key ecosystem services, such as providing a nursery and habitat for animals, preventing coastal erosion and sequestering a large amount of carbon dioxide. 7 species occur in the Gold Coast region and cover an estimated 22% of the Broadwater.
It is crucial to monitor these change in order to be able to mitigate widespread loss . Ultimately by protecting the seagrass meadows the wider Gold Coast community will indirectly benefit from the sustained water quality in the Gold Coast Broadwater and surrounding region, ultimately, enhancing recreational fishing, marine tourism and providing the right framework for future generations to enjoy.
Participants will be trained in internationally standardized and recognized Seagrass-Watch training and will be briefed on seagrasses ecology, importance and threats before the session.
The ongoing monitoring is supported by the City of Gold Coast Catchment and Citizen Science Grant program.
This workshop is only suitable for adults over the 16 years of age in order to maintain scientific rigor and safety.
This is an outdoor event.
Everyone attending must register as spots are limited.

Collaborative design of educational and urban spaces
Coimbra (Portugal)11:00
De 04 Dez até 04 Dez, 2023
Partimos da vontade de partilhar e debater experiências nacionais e internacionais sobre as possíveis ligações entre a investigação em ciências sociais, humanidades e artes e os contextos escolares e educativos. O objetivo é ampliar o âmbito de atuação das possibilidades de investigação, a partir de uma perspetiva de ciência cidadã. Para tal, partimos de parcerias e colaborações diretas entre investigadores/investigadoras de contextos académicos e contextos educativos, incluindo a partilha de experiências concretas de intervenção colaborativa nos espaços educativos e nos espaços públicos da cidade de Coimbra.
Esta oficina permite, assim, concretizar um lugar do diálogo com diversos atores ligados à educação e à investigação: investigadores, professores, diretores de escola, estudantes, famílias, ativistas comunitários. Em concreto, pretendemos ampliar a produção de conhecimento sobre novos formatos de organização do espaço educativo e do espaço público das cidades, partindo de uma experiência concreta, com a EB1 Quinta das Flores (Agrupamento de Escolas Coimbra Sul). Nesta iniciativa, investigadores, professores e alunos colaboraram na criação de novas propostas para o desenho dos espaços da escola. Iremos também contar com a colaboração do Zás Coletivo, um grupo de jovens arquitetos e estudantes de arquitetura, que trarão a sua experiência de intervenção nos espaços públicos da cidade de Coimbra.
This is the 4th workshop organised by CC.EDU | Working Group on Citizen Science and Education under the Series 'Building Educational Communities'
