The Seabird Community Community Science Spring 2021 Training is FULL!
Required Zoom session March 23, field session on March 27 -or- March 28, and Zoom session March 30th.
Are you interested in contributing data to an ongoing community science project seeking to better understand marine wildlife populations and to inform best management practices? The Trinidad Coast provides essential habitat for over 100,000 nesting and breeding seabirds. Volunteers are needed to help gather information about seabird and marine mammal populations in order to help these species thrive along the Trinidad Coast. The Seabird Community Science Training and Monitoring program is a collaborative project between the Trinidad Coastal Land Trust, the Bureau of Land Management, and the North Coast Seabird Protection Network. This free training will include seabird and pinniped identification, population and disturbance data collection techniques, as well as experience in the field with experts observing marine wildlife. Community Scientists will be asked to contribute a minimum of one field monitoring session per month and/or community outreach between April and August.
In order to continue keeping our community safe during COVID-19, this year's training includes a mixture of two Zoom training sessions and a weekend outdoor field training session. Participants must agree to wear facial coverings and comply with physical distancing between households throughout the duration of the field session. Training participants must attend both Zoom sessions and one field training session.
