The Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST) is a citizen science
project of the University of Washington in partnership with state, tribal and federal
agencies, environmental organizations, and community groups. COASST believes
citizens of coastal communities are essential scientific partners in monitoring
marine ecosystem health. By collaborating with citizens, natural resource
management agencies and environmental organizations, COASST works to translate
long-term monitoring into effective marine conservation solutions.
