On Saturday, April 13, 2024 the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST) will deliver a training session in Florence, Oregon. COASST participants help make a difference for the environment by collecting data on beach-cast carcasses of marine birds on a monthly basis to establish the baseline pattern of beached bird mortality on North Pacific beaches.
Through an interactive, hands-on workshop, trainees will become acquainted the custom COASST field guide, Beached Birds, and have a chance to try out their newly acquired identification skills on seabird species common to the North Pacific. The COASST training provides participants with the tools to monitor for potential changes in the marine environment and promote stewardship of local marine resources.
For more information and to reserve your training spot, call COASST at 206-221-6893 or email coasst@uw.edu. More information on COASST at
