Beach Watchers Training

Each county customizes its own training program but they share this in common ...

The new trainees always find themselves amazed ...
  • at the wealth of information they knew so little about before,
  • how "everything is connected", and
  • by the knowledge, passion and enthusiasm of the teachers.

Beach Watcher training usually includes:

  • agriculture,
  • aquaculture and shellfish,
  • coastal geology,
  • estuaries,
  • forage fish,
  • forestry stewardship,
  • growth and shoreline management,
  • low-impact development,
  • marine biology and intertidal monitoring,
  • marine debris,
  • marine mammals,
  • mushrooms and fungi,
  • native plants,
  • Penn Cove mussel farm,
  • Rosario interpretive tour,
  • salmon and the nearshore,
  • seabird decline,
  • septic systems,
  • soils and bio-solids,
  • solid waste and recyling,
  • surface and ground water,
  • sustainability.
