Citizen Science: Monitoring invasive tunicates in Alaska

Primary Objective
measure the source, species diversity, and impacts
of nonnative tunicate species spreading northward
along western North America.
•Establish a tunicate monitoring network in Alaska
•Measure the arrival and spread of non native tunicates in Alaska
•Establish critical baseline data
•Educate the public about invasive species
•Develop a broad based monitoring network for all marine invasive species in
Alaska
•Potential for mobilizing the network to implement management strategies
