Rissa Citizen Science

About this app

Join the Rissa Citizen Science community and contribute to important wildlife conservation research. Our app makes it easy for anyone to help monitor kittiwake populations and coastal ecosystems along northern
Norway's coastline.

WHAT IS RISSA CITIZEN SCIENCE?

Rissa Citizen Science empowers everyday people to become active participants in scientific research. By documenting wildlife observations, you're contributing valuable data that helps researchers
understand the overall health of northern Norway's coastal ecosystems.

CURRENT PROJECTS

Kittiwalkers
Help track kittiwake populations across in Tromsø! Document these remarkable seabirds in urban areas, monitor nesting sites at hotels and buildings, and observe cliff-nesting colonies. Your observations
help researchers understand how kittiwakes are adapting to changing environments and identify critical nesting habitats that need protection.

Urchin Density Challenge
Contribute to coastal ecosystem monitoring by documenting sea urchin populations. Your data helps scientists track urchin density patterns and understand their role in the marine ecosystem. Whether
you're diving, snorkeling, or exploring tide pools, your observations make a difference.

WHO CAN USE THIS APP?

Whether you're a seasoned birdwatcher, a coastal resident, a diver, or simply curious about wildlife conservation, this app is designed for everyone. No scientific background required - just a willingness to observe and document what you see.

YOUR IMPACT

Every observation you submit adds to a growing database that researchers use to:
- Monitor wildlife population changes over time
- Identify critical habitats
- Understand how species adapt to environmental changes
