Have you been Oyster Research trained? Join us to get ready for the school year and review the new protocols and data collection sheets.

We encourage stewards who have been previously trained to attend this refresher course.

Summary

At our refresher training, we will review how to track oyster growth and identify organisms living among the oysters. The course is designed for previously trained schools, organizations, and interested members of the public (aka "community scientists") that want to be hands-on in monitoring and restoring the New York Harbor Estuary.

Agenda

This Oyster Research Station (ORS) Refresher Trainings will be held using a Zoom format. We will review

• Protocol for Oyster Measurements

• How to Submit Data

• Data Sheet for the Field

• Template for Submitting Data
