Description
The Schoodic Ferry integrates affordable passenger transit and baseline data collection for transect-based oceanographic assessments of Frenchman Bay. We partner with local and international scientists to develop and conduct long-term marine mammal, pelagic bird, bait fish, plankton, and oceanographic surveys, helping the community develop an understanding of the Bay. Marine mammal and bird sightings. Passengers can collect data on marine mammal and bird sightings to help develop a long-term understanding of how each species utilizes the Frenchman Bay habitat, and how those patterns may change over time.

Project Data
Anecdata is a free online citizen science platform developed by the Community Lab at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. Anecdata is used by hundreds of individuals and organizations to gather and access citizen science observations and provides a platform to easily collect, manage, and share their citizen science data. How Anecdata works: Project managers create projects, creating datasheets that participants fill out to share their observations. Participants join projects and use the Anecdata website or mobile app to share their observations with the project. Project data is now available for anyone to view and download!
