Hi Redmappers,

We're pretty keen on getting the word out about Redmap, and so are Mures. All you have to do to go into the draw for this monthly prize is register for Redmap using the prompt on the top right hand side of the website. Registering is super-easy and it means that you'll receive our newsletter - we won't send this out more than quarterly so you won't get bombarded with lots of emails!!

You can use your Mures voucher on anything in the lower deck - fresh fish to cook at home, toys and goodies in the shop, a meal in the Bistro or a yummy snack in the Polar Parlour.

We'll have lots more prizes on offer soon - so make sure you register with us and tell your friends and family about Redmap.

Cheers,

The Redmap Team 

* Redmap is now live!

Posted on Sunday, 6 December 2009

Hi Redmappers,

We're very pleased to announce that Redmap is now live and ready for you to Spot, Log and Map! Over the next few weeks you'll slowly see some of our archived data appear - these are the sightings that TAFI would hear about but have no where to put until the evolution of Redmap! Some are also sightings that we've been gathering over the past year from those of you that just couldn't wait until Redmap was up and running. Shortly we will also add some data on sightings from TAFI's Marine Biodiversity Research Group led by Neville Barrett. This group conducts SCUBA surveys around the coast of Tasmania and have spotted quite a few critters a bit further south than expected.

Our Redmap species list was put together from many different sources, including talking to lots of recreational and commercial fishers and SCUBA divers, as well as scientists, and trawling through old data and records. The Redmap species list will change over time and you'll probably see new species being added quite quickly - already we've got some verified sightings of  a species not on the list (stay tuned for more details soon....).

Cheers,

The Redmap Team

 

* The Redmap launch

Posted on Sunday, 6 December 2009

Redmap was launched on Wednesday 9th December by the Minister for Primary Industries and Water, David Llewellyn at Mures Lower Deck.
 
Fifty invited guests from recreational and commercial fishing groups, dive clubs, government organisations, schools and other community groups were there to help celebrate, along with many of the contributing scientists and others who helped make Redmap happen. A big thank you to all of you who contributed and to those who gave us such good and constructive feedback to help make the site better - everybody's efforts were very much appreciated. Mures very generously hosted the Redmap launch - thanks! 
 
 
Stay tuned for photos to be posted soon!
