The aim of this NatureTrackers project is to monitor Tasmania’s burrowing crayfish with the help of schools and the community. We have a particular focus on the threatened species, like the endangered Central North burrowing crayfish, which is found nowhere else in the world except a small patch of northern Tasmania. Many people don't realise they're there, let alone that the burrows around Tasmania might be home to lots of different species.
To contribute, first sign up to iNaturalist and, additionally, to the iNaturalist 'Claws on the Line' project. If you see a burrow, burrowing crayfish or other signs of them, record a photo on iNaturalist and add it to the project.
The project also involves primary school visits and an art competition – more details on the website.
