Monitoring Seals and Beyond in Snæfellsnes - Citizen science project

Embark on a journey of environmental stewardship with our successful citizen science pilot project! In collaboration with esteemed organizations like the Youth for Arctic Nature project, NorReg, and the Icelandic Seal Center, our participants have gathered invaluable seal monitoring data at Ytri tunga, sparking positive feedback. Our initiative extends beyond seals, aiming to broaden monitoring efforts to encompass local wildlife. We're dedicated to contributing to scientific research, providing environmental education, and forging lasting partnerships with schools and stakeholders in Snæfellsnes. Join us as we take the next steps, with a stakeholder meeting at the end of the month. Explore our article, enriched with captivating photos, and learn why maintaining a respectful 100-meter distance from seals is vital during observation. Let's make a difference together!
