Citizen science helps uncover why 200 weedy seadragons washed-up on the Australian shoreline.
, flooding and storm surges to the east coast of Australia from February to April in 2022. While much of the focus was on the loss of human life and property, as the weather subsided and people resumed their normal activities, another effect of the devastating storms came to light — the death of close to 200 weedy seadragons.
“With the wash up, if we’ve lost 200 or so seadragons […] that’s 10 percent. That’s quite significant,” says Booth. Many of those people walk the same stretch of beach over a period of years and are attuned to what is normal for the area, and for each season. There are also other citizen science-based projects currently collecting data on wild seadragon populations. The projectallows “anyone who visits the beach or swims in the sea” the opportunity to provide information and images on seadragons that they see while diving. This has enabled an extensive library to compile information on the seadragons and their unique markings.
