Opportunity Details
The NY Harbor Foundation established monitoring protocols for various oyster re-stablization projects and presence/absence studies in the NY Harbor region. Rockland County SWCD is piloting a presence/ absence study for wild oysters along the Piermont Pier in the Fall 2018. Volunteers will be trained and can apply volunteer or college credit hours for their service.
Volunteers will dedicate ~1 hour for one day to monitor a segment of the shoreline along the Pier within an hour of low tide. Volunteers will visually assess the above and below and established transect line for oysers (dead or living) attached to a substrate (hard surface such as a rock etc.). They will measure the length of the oyster using a vernier caliper and record number of oystes and length on the data sheet. All materials are provided by RC SWCD.
Age Minimum (with Adult): 10+, Minimum Age:10+
