Join the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST), and make a difference for the environment! COASST participants collect monthly data on beached carcasses of marine birds to establish the pattern of bird mortality on North Pacific beaches. Data collected helps address important marine conservation issues. No prior scientific experience is needed! Beach surveys are best when conducted in groups of 2 or more — so please come with a partner in mind or in tow! The training is free, but we do ask for a $31 refundable survey kit deposit to take the materials home.
