Want to have a measurable impact? We can help.
Participatory science (aka “citizen science” or “community science”) has significant value. It empowers stakeholders and rightsholders, puts more eyes on the ocean, fills data and perspective gaps, builds and shares capacity, leads to increased awareness, understanding, and acceptance of scientific insights, and enable individuals, communities, and organizations to make informed decisions.
However, there are many layers to consider when designing, launching, running, and closing participatory science projects — including survey design, data ownership, data management, quality control, analysis, results ownership (data and results), co-interpretation capacity, dissemination, communication, action, follow-on projects, etc.
