There are so many people who were involved in the making of this project. This project was funded by the NOAA HPCC Incubator award granted in 2016. We would like to thank Laura Trouille, Grant Miller, and the others of the Zooniverse team for their guidance throughout the process. We appreciate the grant support from NOAA's High Performance Computing Board in bringing this project into reality. From the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, Josh Cutler and Ben Hou were integral to image and data management. Katie Doptis who contributed to the launch and also provided valuable feedback to improve our site and outreach materials. Maggie Mooney-Seus for her help with sharing our project. Maia Hansen with her inspiration and guidance to pursue this project. We thank all of our blog authors who have contributed captivating stories and information to our Steller Watch team. We are grateful to all of these people and many more involved with this project both in the office and in the field. And of course, most of all, we are grateful for all of our Steller Watch citizen scientists!
