Another day, another estuary. Sampling #eDNA to better understand biodiversity in Tilba Tilba Lake

An important aspect our work is communication with local stakeholders, such as the farmers around this estuary

Visits from cute echidnas is an added bonus

Update from the field. We achieved a major milestone yesterday by collecting #eDNA samples from Nadgee River

Sampling in Nadgee Nature Reserve is tricky: a 2 hour 4-wheel drive + 20 minute hike through the bush carrying a canoe just to get to the estuary!
