Adopt-a-Tidepool
As an Adopt-a-Tidepool volunteer, you will collect 'snapshot' survey data on the biological organisms in area tidepools. As part of a team, you will survey one tidepool once a month in the summer and fall and once each season in the winter and spring. One member of each team will be responsible for getting copies of your data sheets to Salem Sound Coastwatch after each sampling round. Staff and field guides will be available to help you with identification of organisms in the field.
