Program Mission
We are volunteers dedicated to protecting the Salish Sea through education, research and stewardship.
Program Description (include how it meets membership criteria)
WSU Beach Watchers are volunteers dedicated to protecting the Salish Sea and Puget Sound through education, research and stewardship. We come from all walks of life and bring a rich cross-section of backgrounds, experience, service and talents. The WSU Beach Watchers volunteer their time through stewardship, education and research at many beaches in Snohomish County, including Mukilteo Lighthouse Park, Kayak Point and Edmonds Olympic Beach. We have been trained by state, regional, and local experts through a rigorous training program overseen by Washington State University Extension.
Program Partners
Snohomish County Surface Water Management, Snohomish County Marine Resource Committee, Washington Department of Ecology, Washington Sea Grant
Curriculum (general objectives and topics, types of instructors, and planned time frame)
Become a Beach Watcher entails receiving 80 hours of university-caliber instruction over the course of a month through presentations, field trips and hands-on practice. Volunteers immerse themselves in a myriad of topics including: Coastal processes, Marine organism identification, Water quality conditions, Public education techniques, Habitat restoration solutions and other marine ecology related topics
Describe the service component of your program
Volunteer Beach Watchers agree to “give back” a minimum of 80 volunteer hours to scientific surveys, serving as field or classroom educators, supporting beach clean-up activities, conducting outreach at festivals, teaching about specific behaviors to clean up Puget Sound and so many other opportunities. Each person gets to craft their own volunteer experience to meet their interests and schedules.
