Rissa Citizen Science

Join the Rissa Citizen Science community and contribute to important wildlife conservation research. Our app makes it easy for anyone to help monitor kittiwake populations and coastal ecosystems along northern Norway's coastline. WHAT IS RISSA CITIZEN SCIENCE? Rissa Citizen Science empowers everyday people to become active participants in scientific research. By documenting wildlife observations, you're contributing valuable data that helps researchers understand the overall health of northern Norway's coastal ecosystems. CURRENT PROJECTS Kittiwalkers Help track kittiwake populations across in Tromsø! Document these remarkable seabirds in urban areas, monitor nesting sites at hotels and buildings, and observe cliff-nesting colonies. Your observations help researchers understand how kittiwakes are adapting to changing environments and identify critical nesting habitats that need protection. Urchin Density Challenge Contribute to coastal ecosystem monitoring by documenting sea urchin populations. Your data helps scientists track urchin density patterns and understand their role in the marine ecosystem. Whether you're diving, snorkeling, or exploring tide pools, your observations make a difference. WHO CAN USE THIS APP? Whether you're a seasoned birdwatcher, a coastal resident, a diver, or simply curious about wildlife conservation, this app is designed for everyone. No scientific background required - just a willingness to observe and document what you see. YOUR IMPACT Every observation you submit adds to a growing database that researchers use to: - Monitor wildlife population changes over time - Identify critical habitats - Understand how species adapt to environmental changes Join citizen scientists making a real difference in wildlife conservation.
