Citizen Science

2/12/2021

 
​NOAA Citizen Science Strategy
NOAA recently released its Citizen Science Strategy, providing a path to better observe, predict, and understand the environment, and manage and conserve natural resources by harnessing the power of the crowd.
NOAA’s citizen science activities will help the U.S. continue to lead in developing innovative, cost-effective and collaborative solutions to global environmental and technology issues. These focus areas are collaboratively managed to maximize their collective impacts.

Citizen Science and Environmental Agencies
The Environmental Law Institute was recently asked by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to characterize existing and new ways citizen science is being adopted by environmental agencies, define the best practices, and identify strategic steps that can be taken to support the use of citizen science for environmental decision making. 
The resulting findings can be found in three newly released reports:
  • Citizen Science Programs at Environmental Agencies: Case Studies
  • Citizen Science Programs at Environmental Agencies: Best Practices
  • Enabling Citizen Science Programs at Environmental Agencies: Recommendations to the U.S. EPA
Read more about the background of this project in a new blog post form CSA's Law and Policy Working Group on the Citizen Science Association website.
