Civic science creates and applies scientific methods through collaborative models between professional scientists and the general public. The goal of the Certification for Citizen Scientists is to promote personal and social growth among the participants, while establishing sustainable links between individuals, groups, and institutions and addressing the complicated and interdisciplinary efforts of environmental protection.

The Certification for Citizen Scientists includes four modules:

  • Water Quality Monitoring
  • Bird Census
  • Identification and Reduction of Micro-plastics
  • Coastal Resilience

Steps to Obtain the Certification:

  • Choose the module you want to be certified in.
  • Participate in the introduction workshop and the thematic workshop for the module of your choosing. 
  • Participate in field trips and complete the required hours from your selected module. 

The modules follow the same format, and you can obtain certifications from more than one module. However, the requirements completed in one module do not transfer to the others.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old, and no previous experience is required– just the desire to learn, gain new skills, discover, and collaborate with the protection and management of the estuary. The certification calendar will be posted on our Facebook page.
