Love to tide-walk? Do it as a volunteer beach naturalist this year! Here’s the official call for volunteers:

Volunteer with the Seattle Aquarium at a beach near you!

Why do barnacles stand on their heads? What do sea stars like to eat? How do moon snails lay their eggs? Learn to answer these and other fun questions by volunteering as a Seattle Aquarium Beach Naturalist this summer. Naturalists receive training in the spring, and then spend three low tide days educating beach visitors about inter-tidal life and beach etiquette at one of eleven Puget Sound beaches, including Constellation Park and Lincoln Beach in West Seattle. Training begins on March 10.

If interested, please email beachnaturalist@seattleaquarium.org, call (206) 386-4365 or visit www.seattleaquarium.org/beach-naturalist.
