The Australian Citizen Science Association
The Australian Citizen Science Association (ACSA) was formed to advance citizen science through the sharing of knowledge, collaboration, capacity building and advocacy. We are a member-based community that supports, informs and develops citizen science. ACSA membership is open to citizen science project managers, volunteers or anyone with an interest in citizen science.

Waterbird breeding and movements: Knowledge for water managers
Our Australian waterbird populations depend on suitable feeding and nesting habitats coupled with flood events. Protecting and maintaining suitable feeding and nesting habitats both between and during flood events is essential to maximise waterbird recruitment, maintain populations, and conserve biodiversity. This requires careful management of both vegetation and water regimes. The CSIRO is focusing its research on waterbird species which breed and nest in colonies within our wetlands.

Boyanga South photography
Phillip and Terry Fleming are sheep and cattle producers on the Gingham Channel, 75kms NW of Moree.
Terry uses their Boyanga South Facebook page to showcase the flora, fauna and habitat, in the wetlands and woodlands on, and around their property, “Boyanga South”.
They realized how little they knew about the birds, in particular, that came in and out of their environment as the seasons changed and photography was a way to learn as well as show others, or simply share with fellow enthusiasts.
