The CLLMM Research Centre is running a free event, Science by the Shore, which will assist one of our Honours projects – Community driven scientific engagement, in identifying knowledge gaps in the understanding of our community’s environmental concerns for the area and develop conversations about them.
Science by the Shore invites the public to take control of discussion topics with the area’s researchers by submitting their questions of interest.
There are multiple ways for people get involved in the event, and you can choose one or all of the following:
- Submit a science question here
- Complete a 10-minute online survey here (see details below). Note: Those submitting a science question will also be automatically given the option to participate in this survey.
- Attend Science by the Shore, 6pm, Friday 25th July at the CLLMM Research Centre (doors open at 5.30pm)
Those completing the survey can choose to enter the draw to win a $50 voucher for Bombora on the River, in Goolwa. Those wishing to submit hard copy versions of questions or surveys may do so in person at the CLLMM Research Centre, Level 1/92 Barrage Rd, Goolwa South SA 5214, during business hours.
The survey is part of research being conducted by UniSA with the CLLMM Research Centre exploring engagement with the event. This research, called “Evaluating the benefits of community directed science engagement”, will explore the public’s relationship with science and the natural environment and will involve survey participants answering both multiple choice and short answer questions. Participants must be 18 years of age or older, be able to read and write English, and not be employed by the CLLMM. This project has been approved by the University of South Australia’s Human Research Ethics Committee (Ethics Protocol 206988).
For questions regarding the research or survey, please contact the lead investigator
Andrew Persian (peram010@mymail.unisa.edu.au), Elissa Pearson (elissa.pearson@unisa.edu.au) or our Science Program Manager Nick Whiterod (nick.whiterod.goyderinstitute.org).
Please consider sharing this information with friends and colleagues with your organisation’s members. We look forward to welcoming all to the event.
