Community science programs are a tool for engaging the public in science and empowering individuals to be a part of scientific studies within their own communities. A diverse selection of community science programs allows the community to connect to hands-on practical science and contribute to documenting urban wildlife in unique and meaningful ways.

The Aquarium’s programs provide opportunities to participate for people with a variety of backgrounds, skill levels, and availability.
