A search for platypus DNA in Merri Creek

A search for platypus DNA in Merri Creek Tuesday 30 November 2021 Local citizen scientists have been using an exciting new technique to detect the presence of platypuses in our waterways.   Merri Creek Management Committee Waterwatch has partnered with EnviroDNA and Odonata to participate in the first ‘Great Australian Platypus Search’. Platypuses are classified as vulnerable in Victoria due to a loss of habitat, drought, climate change and in urban areas, the high flows of stormwater and pollutants (detergent, oil, litter) that run off into our creeks.The Great Australian Platypus Search trains volunteers to collect samples from waterways safely and accurately to detect platypus presence within the previous 24-48 hours.
