Hi EMSA Community,
It was great to work with Grant Managers from Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) at the EMSA training in Canberra last week. The Australian National Botanic Gardens provided a beautiful setting to demonstrate and discuss the EMSA protocols and Monitor data collection app.
