Check out the blog post for an overview of ocean citizen science projects and #CitSciChat panelist bios.
Citizen Science of the Deep Blue Sea - CitizenSciFor centuries, the lives of sailors were full of risks from shipwreck by storms, currents, and navigation of poorly charted waters. To cope with the risk, sailors believed in numerous omens that brought bad luck, like sharks and bananas or failing to set sail on a Sunday (or setting sail on a Thursday, Friday, first Monday in April, or second Monday in August).
