"Beach Watch" a volunteer program established in 1993 uses over 130 citizen scientists to regularly monitor 42 Sanctuary beaches documenting wildlife, oil spills and seasonal changes. This volunteer group is one of the few trained NorCal volunteer groups with required federal and state training & certifications to respond on oiled beaches recording impacts and caring for oiled wildlife. The Marine Debris Monitoring and Assessment Project established in 2012 also utilizes trained volunteers to document baseline marine debris on Sanctuary beaches. |
