Forage Fish Volunteer Training
Seeking volunteers to help with regular beach sediment surveys in search of forage fish eggs (surf smelt & Pacific sand lance) across Greater Victoria beaches. This long-standing community science program helps identify important spawning beaches, better understand when spawning occurs, and build the scientific evidence needed to advocate for their protection. Join us for a training session on how to conduct a survey. From there, you’ll be added to the volunteer team email list for the team leaders in your municipalities of interest!
When: Thursday, November 12th (2:00-4:00 pm).
Where: Agate Park & Beach Access at Cordova Bay. Parking available in the lot off Agate Ln. We’ll be meeting at the path to the beach.
What to bring: Sturdy footwear or rubber boots and layers for sun/wind/rain you don’t mind getting wet. One portable toilet located on site.
