Participatory Science Project

Get Involved

Right now we are not accepting new individual volunteers.

Oyster Cam is still in the pilot phase. We are figuring out how best to analyze the images in Zooniverse and get that information back to the Chesapeake Bay volunteers who are monitoring the restored reefs. 

Thanks to funding from Smithsonian Our Shared Future: Life on a Sustainable Planet, we just started the process of testing out the GoPro rig in other parts of the United States to see if it works in other habitats and with other oyster species. 

Want to help us analyze the images of the oyster restoration sites? Stay tuned! We’re in the pilot phase and hope to launch in 2025.
