 Join the North Sound Stewards volunteer program and connect with a group of people passionate about protecting the North Puget Sound. Volunteer groups led by marine scientists will observe sea stars, forage fish, intertidal species, and more to gather data that will help protect these species' habitats and longevity. Information collected through citizen science efforts provides a baseline of data that informs policy, restoration efforts, cleanups, and other important projects. Citizen scientists are integral to support important work that underfunded agencies cannot do themselves.  We've reached our limit for participation in North Sound Stewards, but we encourage you to sign up to be put on the waiting list or explore our full list of citizen science volunteer opportunities!  Sign up for North Sound Stewards and become a trained citizen scientist who helps contribute to scientific research for the health of the Salish Sea. Program details:
We've reached our limit for participation in North Sound Stewards, but we encourage you to sign up to be put on the waiting list or explore our full list of citizen science volunteer opportunities! Where do I volunteer?The North Sound Stewards volunteer program focuses on intertidal surveys, sea star wasting syndrome surveys, and forage fish surveys in the Cherry Point and Fidalgo Bay Aquatic Reserves. Participate in our intertidal survey trainings to learn how to identify and count plant and animal species in the intertidal zone, the area above water at low tide and under water at high tide. Then join our summer of intertidal surveys, where you'll measure plant and animal life and study the slope and sediment of beaches in Whatcom and Skagit counties. Dates: 8 surveys each summer (4 at Cherry Point, 4 at Fidalgo Bay)
