Jane was invited to speak at the 2022 Blue Water Summit,, on the ‘Citizen Science to the Rescue’ panel.
The Blue Water Summit is designed to encourage our global family to think broadly about the ongoing effects on our oceans of population and climate change, and how changes within the Southern Ocean have far reaching impacts worldwide.

Citizen Science to the Rescue

Yet citizen science is on the raise, recruiting thousands of researchers armed with passion and social media, to collaborate with stakeholders and to support new answers to old questions.
