The citizen science movement has gained a great deal of momentum over the last 5 years, and with its continued growth come new areas of opportunity for “citizens” to contribute in scientific meaningful ways to a vast number of fields including marine biology, oceanography, underwater archaeology, astronomy, and space exploration (just to name a few). With over 95% of the ocean yet to be explored, there are numerous opportunities for recreational divers to don the hat of “citizen scientist” and add to our collective knowledge about the ocean. Dive in and explore some of the exciting citizen science opportunities above AND below the surface in this 3 hour workshop! Attendees receive a workshop manual on USB stick, and a swag bag with supplemental materials and other “goodies.”
