Beach Watch volunteers perform shoreline monitoring under the auspices of NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. Beach Watch uses highly trained “citizen scientists” from all walks of life to conduct regular shoreline surveys spanning 150 miles of coastline from Point Año Nuevo to Bodega Head. The volunteers have conducted wildlife surveys during oil spills and other disasters. Since 1996, the nonprofit Farallones Marine Sanctuary Association has managed Beach Watch data and volunteers.
