| Synopsis: |
In recent years citizen science has emerged as a powerful new concept to enable the general public, students and volunteers to become involved in scientific research. A prime example is in nature conservation, where data collection and environmental monitoring can be greatly enhanced through citizen participation. This is the first book to provide much needed guidance and case studies from marine and coastal conservation. The novelty and rapid expansion of the field has created a demand for the discussion of key issues and the development of best practices. The book demonstrates the utility and feasibility, as well as limitations, of doing marine and coastal citizen science for conservation and by providing critical considerations (i.e.which questions and systems are best suited for citizen science) presents recommendations for best practices for successful marine and coastal citizen science projects. A range of case studies, including monitoring of seabird populations, invasive species, coral reefs, plastics pollution, and the impacts of ecotourism and of climate change, from different parts of the world, is included. There are also generic considerations of involving schools, using new information technology and communicating citizen science as part of this exciting and empowering way of improving marine and coastal conservation. |
