TropWATER webinar series
Science-based solutions in practice with partners
JCU TropWATER has launched a new webinar series to showcase how science-based solutions are being used to protect tropical ecosystems, while supporting those that depend on them.
Many of our webinars will feature guest speakers from outside our organisation, highlighting our strong reputation for working alongside industries, communities, government, Traditional Owners, growers, and regional groups to apply science on-the-ground.
20 days to the event
17 Nov 2026, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
https://jcu.zoom.us/j/89159167981?pwd=Ej6Xy
Join us for a conversation around different perspectives on coral monitoring across the Great Barrier Reef, spanning Traditional Owner-led surveys, citizen science, partnerships with industry, and long-term research.
