Building on a previous workshop supported by Sea Grant, this project will provide training for citizen scientists in data quality control (QC), data compilation, analysis and visualization. Citizen scientists with specific expertise will be encouraged to become part of the instructor team. Training citizen scientists to perform these functions will enhance public understanding of science while also enhancing usefullness and relevance of their data.
Sea Grant funds: $1,100
