MangroveWatch recognised among the world’s leading community-led climate projects 🌏

In 2025, Earthwatch MangroveWatch was ranked in the top 14% of community-led, evidence-based climate projects worldwide by the internationally renowned Earthshot Prize.

Working with Traditional Owners, Indigenous Rangers, scientists, students and community groups, MangroveWatch helped generate valuable data to support the protection of Australia and Vanuatu’s coastal wetlands.

In 2025, participants contributed:

🌿 1,952 coastal wetland observations
🔬 736 species recorded
📍 107 new species locality records
🌊 Stewardship of more than 66,900 hectares of coastal wetlands

In 2026, MangroveWatch is building on this momentum and reaching new heights, including being named a finalist for the 2026 Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Innovation in Citizen Science.

This is the power of combining citizen science, local knowledge and environmental action to create measurable change.

Australia's saltmarshes may not always be in the spotlight, but they play a vital role in protecting our coastlines, supporting biodiversity, improving water quality and storing carbon.

To help better understand and protect these important ecosystems, Earthwatch Australia has launched the Saltmarsh Monitoring Dashboard, an interactive tool that brings together science and community observations to provide a clearer picture of saltmarsh health across Australia.

Whether you're a researcher, land manager, policymaker or simply passionate about nature, the dashboard makes it easier to:
🌿 Explore the condition of saltmarsh ecosystems
📍 Identify areas under pressure
📊 Support smarter conservation and restoration decisions

Developed as part of our Saltmarsh Savers citizen science program, the dashboard demonstrates the power of combining community knowledge with scientific research to drive meaningful environmental action.
