About EstuaryWatch
EstuaryWatch is a citizen science program for monitoring estuary health.
EstuaryWatch and WaterWatch Victoria are currently undergoing a transition to a new set of refreshed branding. Please bear with us as we roll out this fresh new look.
What is an estuary?
Estuaries are semi-enclosed bodies of water where salt water from the sea mixes with freshwater flowing from the land.
