Volunteers count sea stars for scientists A citizen quest to find sea stars along the San Diego coast can help scientists better understand biodiversity
2024
Overview
People can look for sea stars in the area and log their finds on the iNaturalist app - community science that helps researchers monitor the populations and the animals' overall health. \"When you're mobilizing so many people - not just gatekeeping research and science to institutions - you're spreading out that responsibility and those efforts to the broader community,\" said Olivia Poulos, the community engagement manager for the San Diego Museum of Natural History, which is helping get the word out about the sea star search. The California Academy of Sciences is working with the California Ocean Protection Council and California Department of Fish and Wildlife to create an Early Warning and Forecasting System to monitor biodiversity change on the West Coast, using crowdsourced data from tide poolers and outdoor enthusiasts up and down the state.
