The Volunteer Network
Surveying a beach on a regular basis allows volunteers to discover, record, and learn about subtle changes on their beach both seasonally and annually. Volunteers provide additional eyes and ears along the coast for the Sanctuary.
"By being a sanctuary volunteer, I'm able to live three of my passions: love of nature, protection of the environment and birding."
