Midge Point, located in the Mackay Whitsunday regi Midge Point, located in the Mackay Whitsunday region, is recognised as one of the more resilient seagrass meadows in the area. However, recent assessments in April 2025, at both long-term monitoring sites have indicated a decline in seagrass abundance, shifting from "Good" to "Fair."

Seagrass-Watch HQ was in Gladstone 26-28 February Seagrass-Watch HQ was in Gladstone 26-28 February 2025 through the support of Great Barrier Reef Foundation to conduct Level 1 training for participants as part of the SeaGrow Project. 
This was the first training event in Gladstone since 2021 and it was really great to catch up with Gidarjil and Woppaburra Rangers and CMERC participants
Participants gained thorough background knowledge about their local seagrasses, how they can monitor them and how their region compares globally.
Participants were keen and asked lots of questions – ensuring they understood the protocols and the background knowledge required.
The classroom and laboratory sessions were conducted at Training facilities at Central Queensland University.
Seagrass-Watch HQ would like to thank all participants who attended. It was really fantastic to catch up with everyone. We hope you all found the training informative and enjoyable.
