4 What is MIMIC? n Marine Invader Monitoring and Information Collaborative n A network of trained volunteers, scientists, and state agency workers n Monitor for marine invasive species along the New England coastline from June-Oct
5 What is an invasive species? n Non-native n Introduced n Causes harm
6 MIMIC n 11 partners n 65 sites n 100+ citizen scientists!
7 Where we monitor Cobble Shores Tidepools Marinas
8 MIMIC Sites N
9 23 Monitored Species
10 Monitored Species n 16 established non-native species n 7 potential non-native species n Selected because can be identified without a microscope
11 ID Cards
12 Goals n n n n Early Detection: To find introduced non-native marine species before they spread and/or become established in the ecosystem Education: about marine invasive species and how to reduce their spread Data: to interested users via online database and collaborative efforts. Have fun!
13 Early Detection n Once an organism has invaded marine ecosystems, control is difficult if not impossible Native Grass Shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) Palaemon elegans- Invasive European Rock Shrimp Photo:Chesapeakebay.net Adult Juvenile
14 Site of initial occurrence - Kennebunk Beach
15 Education n Inform the public about the impacts of invasive species on natural resources, recreation, and ecology.
16 Education n Citizen scientist provide critical links to community members who may be affected by invasives or act as potential vectors (fishermen, recreation, etc.)
17 Data n Citizen Scientist provide the data that informs researchers and managers about the occurrence and spread of species in their areas.

Quantity Key: Abundant (A) = present almost everywhere you look Common (C) = present in most of the location (over half of the areas looked) Few (F) = present, but at low abundance (less than half of the areas looked) Rare (R) = only one to two specimens present at site Absent (N)= not present, not observed at the site

19 HAVE FUN!!
20 How is it working for the Wells NERR?? GREAT! n Monitoring since 2008 n Have grown from 4-8 sites in Maine n 260 monitoring events n 14 different invasive species documented n 1 st sighting of the European rock shrimp Pictured below: The invasive skeleton shrimp (Caprella mutica) and the invasive lacy crusty Bryozoan (Membranipora membranacea).
21 Our Citizen Scientists n Currently have 15 dedicated volunteers in Maine n 30 people involved during peak times (students/interns/etc.) n Two teachers/school groups involved n 3-5 th graders and Highschool Biology Class n Wide range of people involved n Ages range from 8-80(?) years old n All walks of life n Diverse reasons for joining
22 Considerations/challenges n Safety n Safety of monitors primary concern: site safety, preparation, changing conditions n If you feel uncomfortable or feel your safety is at risk for any reason, discontinue monitoring and leave the location n Quality Control n Data and metadata should be collected according to the protocol n And be accurate (including identifications!) n QA/QC often needed on data
23 THANKS!!! n Citizen Scientist of Course! n Adrienne Pappal/Ma CZM n Wells NERR Research Dept. n 2015 MWC organizers/sponsors n You all for your attention! J
