Beachwalkers Needed to Help Survey and Collect Data on Beached Marine Birds; Check out The Half Life of Marie Curie at BPA

| Posted on |

Join the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST) for a beached bird surveyor training session on September 6th, from 12:30 to 4:30 at the Bainbridge Island Fire Station #21 (8895 Madison Ave N). RSVP to coasst@uw.edu. Just say you are coming to the Bainbridge training!
“COASST participants collect data on beach-cast carcasses of marine birds on a monthly basis to establish the baseline pattern of bird mortality on North Pacific beaches,”says COASST Participant Coordinator Allie Brown. “Data collected helps address important marine conservation issues and protect marine resources.” No prior scientific experience is needed.
“Beach surveys are best (and most fun) when conducted in groups of 2 or more— so it is recommended (but not required) to come with a survey partner in mind or in tow,” Bown adds. “The training is free, but we do ask for a $31 refundable survey kit deposit to take the materials home.” Scholarships available.
“Our volunteers come from all different backgrounds, but all share a love of recreating on the beach,” Brown points out. “And they help make a difference for the environment! We are happy to give them an excuse to get out there once a month.”

 The Half Life of Marie Curie is a Fascinating Look at the Lives of Two Historic Women

Nora Vitz Harrison stars as Marie Curie

When scandal threatens her career, Marie Curie retreats to the seaside home of her friend, physicist Hertha Ayrton. In this true story of friendship, resilience, and science, two brilliant women confront public scrutiny, personal loss, and the weight of history, finding strength in each other as they redefine what it means to live a life of purpose.
