Protecting Platypus – Caring for the Coast’s cutest creatures
This May, Sunshine Coast Council will be holding a series of library based workshops on discovering the secret life of the platypus, hosted by our Community Engagement and Education Manager, Trevor Morrison. Join us as Trevor unveils the platypus’ unique biology, behaviours, and local habitats. Learn how regional conservation projects are helping protect this iconic species. Watch footage of swimming patterns and hear about eDNA sampling investigative tracking techniques. Explore the key threats impacting their survival and mapping tools of known local sightings. Get inspired with the PlatyTracker data collection program and how it helps protect our little water friends.
These free workshops will be held across various dates and locations. Visit the Sunshine Coast Council libraries page via the link below to learn more and register your spot.
