Phytoplankton Counting & Identification Training

Join us for a hands-on training session to introduce you to phytoplankton counting and identification. Learn how to collect and examine water samples, identify phytoplankton with our new Tomlov microscopes, and understand the role of phytoplankton monitoring in detecting and responding to harmful algal blooms. This practical workshop is an opportunity to build local knowledge and monitoring skills while contributing to a better understanding of our coastal environment. This workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Anastasiia Snigirova a marine biologist and microalgae expert studying ocean microplastic contamination at Flinders University and Samantha Sea, award winning citizen scientist and founder of the Phytoplankton of South Australia project.
