**Description** Webinar number 183

Watch this webinar to learn from Charles Sturt University’s Dr Katie Doyle and Mr Braeden Lampard from OzFish Unlimited about a One Basin QuickStart project exploring the potential for citizen scientists to be involved in fish tagging programs in the Murray-Darling Basin.

This work is a pilot study to determine if community members can be trained to tag fish, while working within animal ethics and fisheries regulations. The work will establish the framework, through training and collaboration, for citizen scientists to be incorporated into basin-scale programs.
