Citizen Science: Surveying Parasites on Chesapeake Mud Crabs
An introduced parasite is affecting native mud crabs in Chesapeake Bay. The parasite eliminates the crab’s ability to reproduce and results in the crab caring for the developing larvae of the parasite. Both male and female crabs are parasitized and tricked into caring for the larval parasites. Join researchers at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center as they conduct surveys of White-fingered Mud Crabs in hopes of understanding how this introduced parasite affects the mud crab population. Volunteers will collect crabs from 10 sites over three days. Learn more and sign up on our website http://www.serc.si.edu/labs/marine_invasions/citizen_science/Parasite_project.aspx

Web 2.0 and Integrating Technology in Outdoor Education, Educator’s Workshop
Outdoor education is meant to be outdoors, but that doesn’t mean that it has to exclude technology. In this workshop, we’ll introduce educators to Web 2.0 and some of the sites available for educators interested in integrating technology into their classes. This will include the categories of website applications, mobile apps, and GPS applications, that can be integrated into onsite and offsite learning. We’ll cover everything from watershed health monitoring to invasive species and migration tracking. This workshop is open to formal and informal educators alike and is targeted to middle school instructors.
