Today on Marine Science Minute with Florida Sea Grant: Citizen Science! Do you want to help to monitor the health of Florida’s coastal ecosystems? You can volunteer and participate in scientific research projects! Volunteers can help collect and share scientific data that may impact species or habitat management, education, capacity building, policy development, or research. Florida Sea Grant, in partnership with a variety of national and state agencies and organizations, leads and supports citizen science programs to reach these goals, like adopt a waterway, marine debris cleanup, living shorelines, horseshoe crab tagging, artificial reef monitoring, and marine mammal stranding response, among many others. You can support your community by getting involved in these programs.
