The NH Sea Grant Coastal Research Volunteer program is working with local salt marsh natural areas to install Picture Posts, which are fixed points that volunteers visit regularly to take pictures. Photographs taken at these fixed locations build up a long-term record of changes over time. Our Picture Posts in Hampton Falls and Seabrook are part of a nationwide network of Picture Posts, with volunteers all over the country contributing photo data. CRV is partnering with science literacy researchers at UNH and local middle schools to develop and evaluate lesson plans that allow middle school students to analyze Picture Post data.
