Project Description

Purpose of volunteer role: 

  • This role involves participating and assisting with various citizen science activities such as intertidal surveys and timed species search alongside the Solent coastline. You’ll help by gathering data to support conservation efforts, as well as learning hands on knowledge about the species and habitats you encounter. You will also be able to advise others on what citizen science is available in their area and what might suit their needs.
