specifically cellulular, subscelluar and molecular level techniques that should
provide linkage between cause (chemical contamination) and effects
(histopathology). As the contractor to NOAA, CSS-Dynamac is seeking full-time

<DIV dir=ltr>LiMPETS is a monitoring program that involves teacher, students,
and local communities, as citizen scientists in a network of long-term data
collection of the sand beach and rocky intertidal communities to establish a
baseline. These citizen scientists gain knowledge about observing nature and
doing science, as well as an appreciation about how data that can document
changes and be used to protect our local marine ecosystems are gathered. Through
this monitoring, these citizen scientists are establishing a web-linked baseline
from which we can better address current and future impacts. The program,
Long-term Monitoring Program and Experiential Training for Students, or simply
the LiMPETS network, connect teachers, students, and the community to the ocean,
involves them directly in a real scientific endeavor, and increases their
awareness of, and interest in, the marine environment and scientific processes.
The vision of the LiMPETS network is to be recognized and respected as one of
the nation's premier student-based citizen science programs. </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>The LiMPETS network provides authentic, hands-on coastal monitoring
experiences that empower teachers, students, and the community to conduct real
science and become ocean stewards. Teachers participate in professional
development to gain the necessary skills and confidence to engage their students
in meaningful monitoring activities in the field. Approximately 3,500 teachers
and students along the coast of California are already collecting data from
rocky intertidal and sandy beach habitats as part of the LiMPETS network in our
national marine sanctuaries. <A href="http://www.Limpetsmonitoring.org"

collected via dedicated small boat surveys as well as opportunistically from a
local dolphin watch. This study is a continuation of the long-term study
initiated by the Nags Head Dolphin Watch in 1997. Information from the current
long-term study will provide a basis for initiation of studies involving habitat
utilization, social associations, and anthropogenic effects on the dolphins.

dolphins in the field/lab, and environmental education. For more information
