Students stepped behind the scenes at the museum-not just to observe, but to contribute. From helping process collections to supporting real scientific work, this shows that science is something we can all be part of. #CitizenScienceMonth #scistarter #ScienceForEveryone #EveryoneCanDoScience

Many important fish species gather in large groups to reproduce at predictable locations and times. This predictability makes them extra vulnerable to fishing pressure.

Acting like underwater oases, solution holes provide shelter and food for many marine animals, in an otherwise flat, open seascape.

These cameras enable observation of marine species without disturbing them. Especially, rare behaviors, nocturnal or shy animals that divers might miss.

Help researchers analyze footage collected by underwater cameras. By identifying species and behaviors, you’ll be contributing to meaningful science! The ocean’s full of secrets – just when you think you’ve seen it all…boom, something new!

Physical specimens, handwritten notes, and field records can degrade or be lost. Digitization preserves this information permanently and protects it from damage. #wedigbio #biodiversity #communityscience #communityscientist #naturalhistory #science #scienceforall #scistarter #scienceforeveryone

When biodiversity data is digitized, scientists & policymakers can quickly analyze species distributions, population trends & threats. Supporting smarter conservation strategies, especially for endangered species & fragile ecosystems.
