Comprehensive CoastWatch Training

Fawn Custer, our CoastWatch volunteer coordinator, has scheduled a special south coast CoastWatch training session for Friday, Jan. 18, from 9 a.m. to noon in Room 206 of the Southwestern Oregon Community College’s Brookings branch (96082 Lone Ranch Parkway). 

We haven’t offered a training session in southern Curry County for some time, so Fawn plans to catch up with a comprehensive session that will touch on all aspects of CoastWatch mile adopting, plus cover the protocols for our various citizen science projects.  The session is free and open to all.  This would be a great opportunity for prospective new volunteers to learn about the program.  For relatively recent mile adopters this will be a chance to get up to speed, and for veterans it can serve as a refresher.  Come with all your questions about CoastWatch or about coastal natural history.
