12 years ago I started the SecchiDisk.org study to engage seafarers to collect data on the phytoplankton. Today, we start year 13. It is now the longest-running and most spatially, extensive marine citizen science study of the sea's most important life. Join everyone taking part and collect data for the Study. This is also a birthday appeal. The Study's independent growth has been achieved without any institutional funding. If you are a CEO or director of a company and you feel aligned with our goals in wanting to engage citizens in environmental science and life-long learning, please get in touch. Together, we can go so much further.
