Citizen Science

Sitka National Historical Park and the Sitka Sound Science Center host a number of citizen science projects, including checking bear hair snares, early detection monitoring for invasive crabs, fish seine surveys, and much more.

To participate in these projects or learn more, contact Callie Simmons at csimmons@sitkascience.org or visit the Sitka Sound Science Center.

Intertidal Surveys

Crab Survey

Participate in crab surveys and watch for invasive European green crabs.
Acoustic Monitoring

Participate in acoustic surveys to detect species we might not see and assess the quality of the park soundscape.
Bears

Help us set and monitor hair traps and remote cameras to determine how many bears are in the park and how they are related to each other.
