The Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST), a citizen science program based at the<\/span>
University of Washington\u2019s School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, is looking for<\/span> 3<\/span>–<\/span>4<\/span> undergraduate<\/span>
students<\/span> to assist with da<\/span>ta entry and management;<\/span> particip<\/span>ant<\/span> recruitment, training, and<\/span>
communication;<\/span> and program outreach.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


COASST<\/span> works with approximately<\/span> 10<\/span>00 citizen science<\/span> participant<\/span>s, using their data on<\/span> beach<\/span>–<\/span>cast<\/span>
carcasses of marine birds<\/span> and marine debris<\/span> to establish the baseline, or ‘normal’<\/span> pattern of deposition<\/span>
on<\/span> North Pacific beaches. Baselines<\/span> of seabird mortality<\/span> are crucial for assessing the impacts of oil spills,<\/span>
fisheries, and climate change in the marine environment<\/span>, while marine debris data spe<\/span>aks directly to the<\/span>
source and transport pathways of debris, as well as to the potential harm to people, wildlife, and local<\/span>
coastal ecosystems<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Internship tasks may include:<\/span><\/span>
\u2022<\/span> Recruiting, tracking, and communicating w<\/span>ith citizen science participants<\/span><\/span>
\u2022<\/span> Managing incoming data and photos from beach surveys<\/span><\/span>
\u2022<\/span> Entering beached bird<\/span> and<\/span> marine debris data<\/span><\/span>
\u2022<\/span> Preparing materials for beached bird and marine debris trainings<\/span><\/span>
\u2022<\/span> Representing COASST at outreach events<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9433,"featured_media":34096,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_s2mail":"yes"},"categories":[1],"tags":[4,36,28,33,141,13],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46775"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9433"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46775"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46775\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46776,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46775\/revisions\/46776"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
