Ms Siobhán Egan:

Yes, citizen science is just the general term that is used for when there are non-scientists but that does not mean that one cannot contribute to the information which informs the science and informs the policy. It happens in other areas. Obviously there is an element of skills and training and so on, but that should be provided for through the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and the Marine Institute. It would be a good course.
