Engaging in Citizen Science 12 August 2020

Ben (Sustainable Coastlines, Litter Intelligence Programme) and Aless (mm2 Marine Studies University of Otago) shared their passion and knowledge with those wanting to learn more about the Litter Intelligence Education Programme and Marine Metre Squared – 2 wonderful citizen science programmes that schools can get involved in. Theory and learning about the programmes was balanced with hands on opportunities – carrying out a litter survey and audit at nearby Oreti Beach, and undertaking a mock mm2 survey! Lots of connections made and fun had.
