Puget Sound Seabird Survey
Community Science More Important Than Ever
The Puget Sound Seabird Survey is looking for birders in King County to join this established Community Science program.
How it Works
Volunteers are asked to conduct 7 surveys with a small team of fellow surveyors at specific coastal locations. All surveys are synchronized to take place once per month on the first Saturday, October – April.
You will be provided training in the survey technique, and ideally will have good seabird identification skills. However, there are roles on the survey team for birders of all levels.
Now in its 18th season, you’ll be contributing to valuable science that monitors wintering seabirds across the southern Salish Sea and informs important management decisions.
With the indiscriminate dismantling of federal and state wildlife monitoring programs across the US, your involvement in this project is more important than ever.
