1 Waccamaw River Volunteer Monitoring Annual Data Conference 2008

2 Topics Introductions Ken Hayes, Volunteer Monitoring Coordinator Quaye Trimble, Database and GIS Manager Other new stuff Today s Theme Citizen Science Case Studies from your data

3 Easy Gel E. Coli test training March 2008

4 New Sampling Sites Sterritt Swamp Peachtree Landing North Carolina (4 sites) New Programs Murrells Inlet Withers Swash (EPA CARE)

5 Bad Weather Protocol Team 2 at Sterritt Swamp Tropical Storm Hannah

6 Other Computer Stuff Revamped web pages Database updated IP funding Communication/Linkages E newsletter Press coverage SC Lake & Watershed Assn World WQ Monitoring Day Training New recruits Master samplers

7 US EPA National Newsletter of Volunteer Monitoring Summer 2008

8 Citizen Science What is it? Research collaborations between scientists and volunteers A way to leverage the brains, experience, and insights of the world s people to advance understanding. Why? Scientists need more data than they can collect alone. Meet community needs, such as concerns about water quality Benefits Informs policy decisions voters, officials and staff Enhances lifelong learning and stewardship. The power of citizen science stems from the unique nature of knowledge derived by the contributions of many. Citizen Science Central:

9 Local Examples Birds: Audubon Bird Count Sea Turtles: SC United Turtle Enthusiasts Oysters: SC Oyster Restoration & Enhancement Program Weather: Weather Watcher Network Bugs: dragon flies, butterflies, MBI Water

10 ..Water monitoring, perhaps more than any other scientific activity that citizen volunteers engage in, opens the door to full participation by volunteers in the scientific process.
