Volunteering

Coastcare programs depend on volunteers. 

Programs vary from year to year depending on Coastcare's priorities, available funding to provide coordination , tools, scientific services and the availability of volunteers.   

Some activities are an occasional day that we make a special occasion, some are weekly, monthly or bi-monthly and others are an annual event.
