Lagoon Drift: A Successful Model to Engage our Community in Marine Science

Since 2017, ANGARI Foundation has led “Lagoon Drift”, a Palm Beach County based citizen science program engaging community members in coordinated releases of eco-friendly drift cards to study the motion of water and pollutants in regional waterways. The program has engaged 4,000+ community members, including K-12 students and teachers, environmental clubs, and the general public. To complement the experiment, ANGARI staff visit classrooms to share standards-aligned presentations on topics like ocean currents and marine debris, and review results from past experiments. This year, ANGARI is launching an ArcGIS dashboard to give the public access to observations and experimental data from the study.

Registration is required to attend.

This event is not recommended for children under the age of 14. 

The River Center reserves the right to cancel the program due to low registration, unforeseen circumstances, or inclement weather. Participants will be notified as soon as possible in the event of cancellation.
