Land Acknowledgment
With gratitude and humility, we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking, and gathering on the native lands of Salish Sea & Coastal people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all and act as stewards of this land we inhabit.
Site Guardians and volunteers will venture into the field 9-10 times this year!
2025 Field Summer Schedule
- Sensor arrays will be swapped twice- once in March or April and again in August.
- Biological data will be collected every field visit.
- Accessing sites will be very dependent on low tides! Check your site's low tide calendar for low tide days and times, and notify Katie or Sophie of your plans, changes to plans, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance!
ANeMoNe Sites
Click on each site location to find additional information about site access, directions and parking! Under each site you will also find graphs curated from 2021 environmental & biological data.
ANeMoNe Handbook & Cheatsheet
The ANeMoNe handbook is a synthesis of information provided to you on this webpage. You'll find schedule information, field protocols, and additional resources.
Additionally, here you'll find the ANeMoNe Field Cheatsheet. This is best to be used in the field to help remind you of the tasks that need to be completed every field visit! If you don't have a laminated copy, but would like one, please reach out to AAMT Staff.
Protocols & Training
Field Protocol Training
You can get started learning field protocols by watching this training video!
On April 9, 2024 we hosted an online training to introduce folks to the work that we do at ANeMoNe - if you missed it, you can watch by clicking on the button below!

Mobile Data Collection
Survey123 App & Field Surveys
In this section, you'll find the link to the Survey123 App you will download, and the surveys that were designed to collect ANeMoNe field data on a mobile device. You must download the Survey123 App FIRST in order to use the surveys that were designed to collect data with a mobile device in the field.
Use these buttons to download the Survey123 app for your device:
Once you've downloaded the Survey123 app, use these buttons to download the ANeMoNe field collection surveys you'll be using in the Survey123 App:
The benefit of using the Survey123 App and field collection surveys is that once you collect your data, all you have to do is check to ensure you filled everything in and click submit!
Data Sheets & Forms
Data Sheets
- If you decide to print data sheets at home and would like Rite-in-the-Rain paper, let us know & we will provide it.
Submitting Data sheets:
- Please submit both of your data sheets (Eelgrass/Shellfish Stick/Sensor AND Bird Observation) no more than one week after your field visit.
- Please send a clear scan or photo of data sheets to katie.allen@dnr.wa.gov
- Having trouble getting a good picture of your data sheets? Using free phone apps like CamScan or Scannable can make capturing data sheets really easy.
- If there are any questions or concerns about submitting data in a timely manner, please let us know.

ANeMoNe Climate Resilience Curricula & Youth Internship
WA DNR's (AAMT) developed three curricula (elementary, middle, and high school) and a youth internship program designed to bridge the goals of bringing local climate science into Washington state classrooms through incorporating field experience and data from ANeMoNe sites.
