During the month of August, a total of 182 participants tuned in to our most recent round of elective workshops as part of our Estuary Citizen Scientist Certification project. Each of the available modules— Water Quality, Participatory Bird Censuses, and Microplastics Characterization and Reduction—offered the following workshops: Getting to Know the Waterbirds of the Estuary Wetlands, Climate Change and Water Quality, and Microplastics: Research in the Estuary Watershed.
Looking forward to upcoming field trips to complete the Estuary Scientific Citizen Certification.
