From reels to research
Citizen science facilitates cost‐effective ecological data collection at much larger scales than would otherwise be feasible. This is particularly useful for the study of highly migratory species with broad distributions, such as billfishes. Participants in citizen science benefit from an increase in scientific literacy, a sense of satisfaction and enhanced understanding. However, there are common challenges involved in citizen science projects, …
Community stewardship to protect coastal and freshwater ecosystems–pathways between recreation and stewardship intentions
Strengthening community engagement in stewardship can help to improve management of coastal and freshwater environments (blue spaces). Research suggests that recreational users of natural areas may be more willing to engage in stewardship. However, little research at a population scale has examine how recreation experiences shape psychological ingredients for stewardship. We surveyed 3271 residents of South East Queensland, Australia and quantifi…
Exploring diversity and engagement of divers in citizen science
Generation Y and protected areas
Over the past two decades, there has been anecdotal reporting of declines in young people’s engagement with natural environments. This article focuses on Generation Y, also commonly referred to as the Millennials. Through a scoping study of published research to 2017, we explore how Generation Y experiences, views, and is influenced by natural areas of high conservation value. A key finding is that the body of empirical and theoretical research t…
Biodiversity redistribution under climate change
Consequences of shifting species distributions Climate change is causing geographical redistribution of plant and animal species globally. These distributional shifts are leading to new ecosystems and ecological communities, changes that will affect human society. Pecl et al. review these current and future impacts and assess their implications for sustainable development goals. Science , this issue p. eaai9214
Citizen Science as a Means for Increasing Public Engagement in Science
Citizen science is often assumed to increase public science engagement; however, little is known about who is likely to volunteer and the implications for greater societal impact. This study segments 1,145 potential volunteers into six groups according to their current engagement in science (EiS). Results show groups with high levels of EiS are significantly more interested in volunteering and more likely to participate in various research roles …
Citizens as Scientists
Public participation in science is burgeoning, yet little is known about factors that influence potential volunteers. We present results from a national survey of 1,145 marine users to uncover the drivers and barriers to a sightings-based, digital marine citizen science project. Knowledge of marine species is the most significant barrier and driver for participation. Many marine users perceive that they have insufficient knowledge of marine speci…
