Rachel Benbrook is working on building a network of volunteer sea kayakers and involving them in citizen science in Puget Sound.
Sea Kayaking BiologistI am a 10 year resident of Puget Sound, currently living on Guemes Island. I coordinate the Spartina Survey Program for People For Puget Sound. We recruit and train volunteer sea kayakers to survey the shorelines of Puget Sound for invasive Spartina grass. I am looking for ways to build a network of citizen science volunteer kayakers and connect them with researchers that are doing good work for the Sound.

Amy Sprenger
I am the program director for Ocean Inquiry Project, a Puget Sound based marine science education non-profit organization. I also am an education specialist with NANOOS, the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems, the PNW's regional association for the national Integrated Ocean Observing System. I am interested in promoting ocean literacy and involving non-scientists in ocean science research. It is my hope that a more ocean literate public will be able to take great strides in protecting our ocean.I am a: Educator, Interested Citizen, Marine Volunteer, A leader or representative of a non-profit

Véronique Robigou
My professional path for the past 20 years at the University of Washington included research in marine geology, and education in ocean sciences. Along my research path, mid-ocean ridges exploration and seafloor mapping projects exemplified the power of risk-taking collaborations between scientists, technologists and marine environment professionals to advance scientific discovery. Similarly, the design and direction of original ocean sciences education projects involved collaborations among international government agencies, institution leaders, scientists, science educators, education researchers and students that impacted all contributing cultures (REVEL project, Marine Exchange Language Program, COSEE-Ocean Learning Communities). My multicultural education, scientific background, interest for Earth's processes and for people's capacity to learn continue to drive my curiosity for people's perception of the ocean and the relationship they develop with the marine environment. I am currently investigating ideas of projects that blend arts, sciences, and kinetics to support audiences learn more about the ocean and discover the role that it plays in one's life.I am a: Scientist, Educator, Interested Citizen
