Citizen Science Videography Series

The citizen science videography series highlights opportunities for community members to get involved in research and conservation through citizen science initiatives. This video series will focus on different projects throughout Canada that rely on citizen science data to protect and conserve our natural environment. These videos follow a structure that introduces individuals to citizen science, explains the premises of each project, how to contribute, and the importance of their engagement. This video series will also support the Urban Wildlife Conservation Network website that has resources for individuals to get involved in various areas in Canada.

My project introduced a human-wildlife conflict with marine mammals – primarily the impact of vessels on whales. Explaining these issues and providing an opportunity to contribute allows the public to have a better understanding of the issue at hand and positively influence the health of oceans.

This project has been created in commemoration of the lives of all the victims of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, including two Ocean Bridge ambassadors, Danielle Moore and Micah Messent. We aspire to carry on their legacy and commitment to making the world a better place by creating long-lasting impacts with a firm commitment to driving positive change for the environment and our ocean. We will never forget the light that Danielle and Micah brought to the world and will continue to keep them in our hearts. To learn more about these two amazing people, please visit: Honouring Danielle and Micah  – Ocean Wise. This work is partially funded by the Commemoration Fund for Victims of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 Tragedy.
