Are you keen to wet a line at Lake Colac in the name of science?
Researchers from Federation University Australia are seeking volunteers to help study the health of Lake Colac and its wildlife through fishing.
By catching fish, citizen scientists will be assisting researchers in learning more about the movement of food, nutrients and pollutants via predator/prey interactions along a food chain. This study is focused on the transfer of pharmaceutical pollution from one organism to another.
The sampling event will be held on Sunday 26 November from 10am until 4pm. A sausage sizzle will be provided. Volunteers must have a valid fishing licence and bring their own fishing gear.
