Jug Bay has an incredible Citizen Science legacy with some programs running continuously for 30 years and counting. Our annual Citizen Science Summit convenes research volunteers by theme to present research findings and thinktank on new questions to pose to the Sanctuary. The Summit is held each November and includes an expert Keynote Speaker related to each year's theme.
