Then we walked down to the floating dock and she showed me a fried-egg jelly that had drifted in, which we both admired. Jo has a deep passion for the natural beauty of the Salish Sea.
A fun fact about Jo is that her Favorite Marine Animal is the sea otter because, “They are just so cute!" That, and she also understands their crucial role as a keystone species that eats sea urchins and other invertebrates that graze on giant kelp.

PTMSC does not care what its volunteers think about policies or procedures, or how programs are conducted. It is fortunate to have a number of great volunteers, but it is truly not interested in what they think about the organization's course, when it comes to setting it. It still provides a great service to the community, but it could be better. If it wanted to be better.
ReplyDeleteJo is such a knowledgeable and talented volunteer! Her expertise as a docent, with the Gray Whale bones, and other projects is so valued by everyone at PTMSC. Thank you, Jo!
ReplyDeleteJo is an amazing volunteer!
ReplyDeleteVolunteers are the heart and soul of the PTMSC. The organization was started by volunteers and continues to depend on volunteers for critical functions from board members to docents to animal caregivers to citizen scientists. We are honored to have over 200 volunteers annually who give generously of their time, their talents, and their great ideas. The board (all volunteers) strives to set policies, procedures, and programs with input from volunteers, staff, visitors, participants, and the community. The organization seeks to provide an outstanding volunteer experience and are always open to hearing feedback. The door is always open.
