Volunteer Opportunity with WADNR Ocean Acidification Research

My name is Sophie, I am the North Puget Sound volunteer coordinator for the Acidification Nearshore Monitoring Network (ANeMoNe) project through DNR. Last year, we had a cohort of UW students through the marine biology program that were hugely helpful as field volunteers, and I wanted to send you our flyer for the 2025 field season for distribution to your students. Our Elliott Bay site is just over by the Elliott Bay Marina, so not too far from campus.

Here is our website for more information: ANeMoNe Toolbox

If you, or any students, have any questions, feel free to contact me at this email. Thanks so much! Sign up info is on the flyer.

Interested in participating in climate resilience research throughout the Puget Sound?

The Washington Department of Natural Resources is currently recruiting community scientists to help maintain monitoring sites and conduct eelgrass and bird behavior surveys at various sites across the Puget Sound.

What will you learn?

  • Native seagrass identification
  • Shellfish larvae identification using a dissecting microscope
  • Trends in nearshore environmental conditions

This is a 1-4 hour commitment, every other week from April to August. Training and gear are provided.
