It is wonderful that statutory agencies have learned to work with citizen science networks to gather vital and affordable data needed to inform critical decisions. As a highly successful regional citizen science charity working nationally and internationally, the Seal Research Trust have lots of top tips, strategies and advice about setting up, running and most importantly sustaining such networks over the long term to achieve the greatest benefits. We all need to work smarter and learn from each other’s experience to maximise our outputs for nature.
