Make a Difference
Beach Watch allows the public to take an active role in environmental
protection. Volunteers provide invaluable assistance to the Sanctuary in
monitoring and managing our natural resources.
The Volunteer Network
Surveying a beach on a regular basis allows volunteers to discover,
record, and learn about subtle changes on their beach both seasonally and
annually. Volunteers provide additional eyes and ears along the coast for
the Sanctuary.
Become a Citizen Scientist!
Every other year volunteers are recruited to join the Beach Watch
program. The extensive 80-hour training is held on weekends and weeknights
and includes classroom and field studies. To be accepted as a Beach Watch
volunteer, you must be 18 years old, attend all required training, and
commit to surveying your beach every four weeks for a minimum of one year.

"By being a sanctuary volunteer, I'm able to live
three of my passions: love of nature, protection of the environment and
birding."
