Come join Harbor WildWatch’s signature Participatory Science Program! Twice a year Harbor WildWatch collects data from different beaches throughout the South Sound area. This information helps determine how beaches change over time and the impact of a future natural or human induced events.

Participation with these special participatory Harbor WIldWatch science events gets you, your friends, and family directly involved with the protection of our local beaches and who knows, may even inspire future ecologists. Remember, you don’t have to have a science background to participate, nor are you required to stay for the entire duration of the typically 3-4 hour program. All ages welcome.

For Summer Beach Monitoring we recommend that you are prepared with layers (it does tend to be cold at the beach), sun protection, snacks, hydration, and closed toed shoes (rain boots, water shoes, or old sneakers you don’t mind getting wet work great). Some folks like having a light pair of rain pants for keeping dry when we kneel on the beach but that’s not required.

Penrose Point State Park: Discover Pass Required.

We meet in the parking area of the beach around the scheduled time to organize gear before heading out to our monitoring site (Usually 10-15min past the scheduled start time).

Once you pass the first gate to the park, take a right at the “T” in the road. This will lead you to the general parking area where we will meet at the scheduled start time. If you arrive later, walk across the grassy field and our monitoring site is on the beach to the left (you will likely have to walk around the picnic point to see us).
