The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) Region 10 office operates a project in Portland that aims to incorporate citizen science into decision making as the city develops plans for school bus routes and stops. See Making a Visible Difference (MVD) in/NE Portland: Engaging Communities, Using Citizen Science to Assess and Address Children’s Environmental Health from Transit and Air Pollution, CitizenScience.gov, https://www.citizenscience.gov/catalog/228/# (last visited Feb. 7, 2019). The project’s goal is “to make a visible difference with citizen science such that it becomes a bridge for the community to independently uncover links and solutions to local environmental concerns.” Id.
The Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey (“COASST”) is a citizen science program established to identify the carcasses of marine birds found on beaches along the coast of the Pacific Northwest.
