Advanced & Citizen Science Programs

For students in grades 9 - 12, we can incorporate research techniques and data gathering, such as using quadrats to do seagrass surveys. We have partnered with several other non profits and government agencies to provide citizen science and community service opportunities in our programs, as well. Some program components are aligned with the AP Environmental Science and AP Biology framework.
