*We are not currently accepting new volunteers*

Volunteer scientists are are volunteers who engage in the scientific process. We are looking for passionate volunteer scientists and community members to conduct surveys of sites throughout central San Francisco Bay. Volunteer scientists are critical to the success of this project! Without committed volunteers, it would be very hard (or impossible) to gather the data we need to understand what’s happening along our rocky shorelines. Your participation is vital to creating and maintaining healthy living shoreline ecosystems!

The summer is a great time to get outside and conduct intertidal surveys – there are many low tide periods during daylight hours and lots of good weather. We are working within the Smithsonian guidelines to the reduce risk of COVID-19.

To sign up or to receive more information, contact Alison Cawood, Director of Public Engagement, at cawooda@si.edu or (443) 482-2271.
