MIMIC

Add your observations of introduced or native marine species in New England!

Observe native and introduced marine species at docks, rocky shorelines and tide pools as part of the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management's Marine Invader Monitoring and Information Collaborative (MIMIC) Citizen Science Monitoring Program. Observations can be made by volunteers as part of a mimic monitoring event, or by anyone who is in a coastal environment and wants to add their observations.
