As a model of communication and engagement, citizen science has the potential to promote individual and collective climate-change action . More than information provision is needed to mobilise public action on climate change . Citizen science links communication and engagement in a manner that holds important lessons on ways to promote collective responses to climate . The power of science- based citizen engagement lies in citizen group contribution in drawing upon their local knowledge to enrich the knowledge base required for management decisions . Scientific evidence may be less attuned to the complexity of local realities in managing climate
