Hello everyone,
The geoduck aquaculture project is looking for volunteers to help with continuing our investigation of the ecological effects of geoduck aquaculture on Puget Sound beaches. We are looking for folks to help collect benthic core samples, excavation samples, and photo-quadrats. The schedule is below. Trips usually take 7-8 hours. If interested or if you know anyone who might be please contact me. I can provide additional information and answer any questions. We really appreciate all the volunteer help we’ve received over the last couple of years.
