Registration is required for all volunteers. Participants must be at least 15 years old and able to work outdoors in full sun during their shift.

We strongly recommend long pants and long sleeves to keep your skin protected, plus a hat and sunscreen. Wet suits and dive booties will not be provided but you are welcome to bring your own. Closed-toe shoes are mandatory (no flip flops, Crocs, Keens, etc.). Please dress accordingly for the weather. Please also bring with you a towel, water/water bottle (you can refill as needed from the water coolers but please note it is limited as we will be in the field for the entire day), snacks, lunch and whatever else you will need for the day.  Also, it's been advised that any jewelry be removed that can easily get snagged (i.e. rings, bracelets, necklaces).

A volunteer waiver will be emailed to you prior to the event.
