Scientists could find evidence of platypus in northern Victorian rivers by checking water samples for DNA, in a proposed project being developed for Victoria.
A not-for-profit company is hoping to recruit volunteers and raise money to fund the project designed to find out how prevalent the elusive mammal is in our streams.
There have been sporadic reports of the monotremes in the lower Goulburn, but they appear to be more common in the upper reaches.
The project will use the technology that has been useful in finding fragments of COVID-19 in wastewater in urban sewerage plants.
