SUPPORTING SML section: Volunteer Corps.

Volunteers help make the "Shoals experience" a reality for its participants, and have been an integral part of life on Appledore since the beginning of the Lab. However SML will no longer be hosting traditional spring/fall "volunteer weekends" on Appledore.

Volunteer opportunities still exist throughout the year; volunteers can support the Lab's academic program by serving as a research mentor or tour guide, or by helping our ongoing recruiting efforts based at Cornell, UNH and on the Seacoast. If you are interested in volunteering for Shoals Marine Lab, please contact our Coastal Coordinator, Pam Boutilier at (603) 430-5220 OR shoals-lab-east@cornell.edu
