Join the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST), and make a difference for the environment! COASST participants collect monthly data on beached carcasses of marine birds to establish the pattern of bird mortality on North Pacific beaches. Data collected helps address important marine conservation issues. No prior scientific experience is needed!

Get fully trained over Zoom in a special session on Tuesday, November 18th, 5pm-8:30pm PST. Sign up for the training by emailing or calling us. Beach surveys are best when conducted in groups of 2 or more — so please come with a partner in tow or in mind! Training is free, but we do ask for a $31 refundable survey kit deposit to get survey materials. Kit scholarships available.
