*Volunteers Needed*

Marine Invasive Species Monitoring at Stone Pier

MIMIC, or the” Marine Invasive Monitoring and Information Collaborative”, is a network of trained volunteers, scientists, and state and federal agency workers who monitor marine invasive species throughout the northeast United States. The program provides an opportunity for the general public to actively participate in an invasive species early detection network, and identify new invaders before they spread out of control.

Monitoring marine invasive species is not only a fun and exciting learning opportunity, but a great community activity as well. Volunteers will be given all the necessary training (by state coordinator) and all equipment needed to monitor at their local site(s).

When/Where: Monitoring occurs once a month from Jun-Oct at the ferry dock at the Stone Pier and usually takes less than an hour. Volunteers can schedule the monitoring at their convenience!
