Are you interested in Citizen Science? In honour of World Oceans Day we are hosting a free community education event, aimed at better understanding all the different plants and animals that live on our shores. We are looking for a group of dedicated and interested 'citizen' scientists to help us get a better picture of the species that live at our beach. With the help of experts, volunteers will record and submit data about the species they observed while at their designated research area.

Despite the huge challenges facing the world’s ocean, by working together we can support a healthy ocean that is able to sustainably provide for the billions of humans, plants, and animals that depend on it every day. On World Oceans Day, people around our blue planet celebrate and honor the ocean, which connects us all. Get together with your family and friends and join us at Deep Bay Marine Field Station for a fun and educational community event!
