Citizen Science put into simple terms is when the public voluntarily helps conduct scientific research. The programmes are designed by scientists and contribute to the knowledge, and well being of our natural environment. At Mulberry Marine Experiences taking part in these programmes help us to support the Marine Environment and local charities and groups that are working on specific projects to support the waters and inhabitants around the UK.
The Citizen Science Day is your chance to make a difference. This might be your first time and you are not sure where to start, a project you are already supporting, a chance to find out more about the work that we carry out, or meet a group of who people want to have fun whilst helping. Each of the dates below will be made up of a number elements including micro beach clean (specific sites in areas of 100ms) both on the land and in the water, egg case recording both on land and in water, kelp recording of specimens seen and washed up, Seasearch Observer Snorkel and Freedive events. Our Shoresearch events will run separately.
Each Citizen Science Day will be run by Mulberry staff who are fully first aid trained. Full briefings and equipment will be provided (thank you to COVE Communities who sponsored our beach clean kits) for all land based activities, if you are taking part in water equipment can be hired. These family friendly days are provided as free community programmes but we do ask you to enrol below so we can plan staff accordingly. If you would like to volunteer to help us with these dates please give us a call on 01243 601000.
