Rhode Island Terrapins

How can citizen science groups gather and utilize long-term data to advocate for the protection of species? Jason’s team is creating a multi-faceted visual documentation, including a photographic library collection created for diverse communication needs (presentations, communication materials, in situ signage employing QR codes) as well as a short documentary film that chronicles the efforts of citizen scientists to understand a threatened local species. Jaacks will also provide in-depth training for a graduate student as part of their thesis and well as several undergraduate interns over the two-year course of the project.
