Exhibit A: Scope of Work
For nearly two decades, the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST) has
operated as a citizen science project primarily targeting adult learners who live, work and/or
recreate in coastal communities throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. COASST
currently offers two data collection modules: beached birds (since 1999) and marine debris
(since 2014). Over 1,000 individuals are actively collecting data (defined as collecting data
within the past year). COASST has trained over 4,000 coastal residents.
This project will leverage previous and other funded Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey
Team (COASST) work to extend analyses of the existing COASST dataset. The intent is to use
the outcomes of this work to share the stories of COASST data with participants, resource
managers and the public at large. The results will provide the first ever regional assessment of
unusual beaching events of marine birds, the associated mortality toll, and related environmental
conditions. Outlets for these results will include peer reviewed publications, a series of blog
entries, newsletters, public talks and integration into the COASST training. The project addresses
the Coast MRC Program benchmarks Marine Life, Sound Science, Education and Outreach and
Coastal Communities by leveraging a large science project to inform resource management and
the public while directly engaging coastal residents.
Task 1:
The Subcontractor will conduct statistical analyses to generate precise deposition and mortality
estimates associated with mass beaching events along the north outer coast and to provide the
first ever regional assessment of unusual beaching events of marine birds, the associated
mortality toll, and related environmental conditions.
Deliverables:
1 a) Interim Report — Due June 15, 2018
1 b) Final Report — Due June 15, 2019
1 c) Final WDFW report (see EXHIBIT B) — Due June 15, 2019
Id) At feast 5 photographs and copies of signed photo releases for use in MRC and
WDFW materials. Copies of any pertinent media articles (Due June 15, 2019)
1 e) Invoices and backup materials (Due June 15, 2019)
