From National Geographic:
July 30, 2009—New smart-phone applications may enable the public to help scientists monitor invasive species and collect data in a fraction of the time it normally takes.

A place for information that helps hobby-scientists do some of the field work necessary to help professional scientists research a variety of topics- from birding migrations, to butterfly life cycles, to population cycles and movement, plus a variety of non-biological possibilities like mapping communities or searching the skies.
Note: the Cit Sci opps listed below, in general, are accessible, national programs (although I have included some of regional interest in Tampa Bay). Some others are included because, although they are limited regionally in scope, they seem rather unique, so are added for variety. Most are free but where significant cost is involved, link is tagged with '$$$'. If you know of a program that is not listed email me a link at campbayou@gmail.com.
