Get involved in citizen science
Citizen science is a great way to get involved, and you don’t need a science background or technical know-how to take part.
On this page you will find information about current citizen science projects and activities, and other resources to help you to get involved.
Join the Quest
Biosecurity is all about protecting what we value most by preventing and managing harm caused by pests and diseases. One way you can get involved is by joining the Great Biosecurity Quest.

Join the QuestCitizen Science spotlight – Summer Sea Slug Census
It’s time again for the Victorian National Parks Association’s Sea Slug Census!
You can head out for a rockpool ramble, snorkel or scuba dive and search for sea slugs. If you snap a photo of a sea slug anywhere on the Victorian coast between Friday 10 and Sunday 19 January, you are encouraged to add your photos to iNaturalist.
The photos you do upload could help unravel the mysteries of these amazing molluscs and detect changes in sea slug populations.

This event is being run by Victorian National Parks Association’s ReefWatch program.
Other ways to get involved
Make a biosecurity report
Getting involved helps you to learn about biosecurity threats, so you know what to report and how to report it if you ever come across one.
If you need to make a biosecurity report you can do so through our website or the emergency pest and disease hotlines.
