Explore the Benefits of Citizen Science

In today's interconnected world, citizens have the opportunity to contribute to scientific research and conservation efforts like never before. At SEO Jacksonville, we believe that everyone can make a difference, and that's why we are excited to introduce our Coastal Watch Citizen Scientist program.

What is Citizen Science?

Citizen science is a collaborative effort where members of the public actively participate in scientific research projects. It provides an opportunity for individuals to engage with scientists, collect data, and contribute to our understanding of the world around us. By becoming a Coastal Watch Citizen Scientist, you can be a part of this exciting movement and help protect our coastal ecosystems.

Contributing to Coastal Research

Coastal ecosystems are diverse and valuable, supporting a wide range of plant and animal species. However, they are constantly facing numerous environmental challenges such as pollution, habitat degradation, and climate change. Through our Coastal Watch Citizen Scientist program, you will have the chance to actively contribute to important coastal research initiatives.

1. Monitoring Biodiversity

As a Coastal Watch Citizen Scientist, you will assist in monitoring the biodiversity of coastal areas. This includes documenting different species, tracking population sizes, and identifying any unusual patterns or changes. Your observations will provide valuable insights into the health of our coastal ecosystems and help guide conservation strategies.

2. Assessing Water Quality

Water quality is crucial for the survival of marine life and the overall health of coastal environments. By participating in our program, you will contribute to the assessment of water quality parameters such as temperature, salinity, pH, and nutrient levels. These data will contribute to ongoing research and help identify potential pollution sources.

3. Beach Cleanup Initiatives

In addition to data collection, our Coastal Watch Citizen Scientist program also involves organizing and participating in beach cleanup initiatives. By removing marine debris and litter from our beaches, you will directly contribute to the conservation of coastal habitats and protect wildlife from harmful pollutants.
