Several field trips are included in the training.         Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary launched its Beach Watch coastal monitoring program in 1993\, providing long-term regular shoreline surveys spanning the Farallones and northern Monterey Bay national marine sanctuaries. Data gathered provides sanctuary management with information on seabirds and marine mammals whose abundance or stranding patterns can be indicators of ecosystem health. Live and beachcast (dead) wildlife are surveyed. Surveyors also document human use of beaches\, report violations\, detect oil pollution\, and collect oil samples. The area surveyed spans 150 miles of coast from Point Año Nuevo to Bodega Head. The nonprofit Farallones Marine Sanctuary Association manages the Beach Watch volunteers and data base for the sanctuary.
