Students become citizen scientists

through their work with the Sustainable Seas Monitoring program. Read a summary by Andrew Cunningham in Branson's online student newspaper The Blazer:

In 2002, Kathy Soave introduced the Branson community to Sustainable Seas, an offshoot of the Greater Farallones Sanctuary which compiles baseline data on intertidal life for a national database. For the past 14 years, Ms. Soave and her students have made monitoring trips every year to the same area on the Bolinas coastline, compiling data on water temperature, species abundance, and distribution.
