04.01.2022 Ozfish and TARFish have partnered with the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies - IMAS at University of Tasmania to harness the local knowledge and expertise of fishers, boaters, divers and paddlers to help monitor Tasmania’s disappearing and endangered giant kelp forests. Kelp Tracker is part of a research project that invites waterway users to share (or ‘log’) their sightings of endangered and disappearing giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) in Tasmania. Sightings are then verified by kelp scientists and over time this ‘citizen science’ data will help to create a map of the remaining giant underwater forests.
