Did you know that April is #CitizenScienceMonth? ,
NOAA's Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary has some amazing
citizen science opportunities for volunteers to get involved with some
of the sanctuary's research! The Stellwagen Sanctuary Seabird Stewards
(S4) Program works with volunteer bird experts to collect sightings data
on seabirds in the sanctuary, allowing us to gain insights into seabird
population trends. This amazing program has many opportunities for
volunteers to get involved with this impactful research. Volunteers can
join us on the R/V Auk for full day research cruises, collect
opportunistic data onboard local whale watch vessels, or assist with
data entry and analysis.
