||| FROM THE COASTAL OBSERVATION AND SEABIRD SURVEY TEAM |||
Join the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST) and help make a difference for the environment!
COASST participants collect data on beach-cast carcasses of marine birds on a monthly basis to establish the baseline pattern of bird mortality on North Pacific beaches. This is the first training session that incorporates both of COASST’s programs Beached Birds and Marine Debris!
Data collected helps address important marine conservation issues and protect marine resources. Beach surveys are best conducted in groups of two or more—please come with a survey partner in mind or plan to join a team during training. No previous experience necessary we teach you everything that you need to know!
Meeting at the Padilla Bay Interpretative Center! Sign up here: coasst.org/join-our-team/trainings-events/
