In support of the Snapshot Cal Coast initiative, join us for for a grassroots, smartphone-powered bioblitz to catalogue every living species we can identify from the tidepools to the trees!
A bioblitz is an intensive one-day study of biodiversity in a specific location. We’ll look for starfish, crabs, flowers, octopus, insects, sea slugs, birds, fish, barnacles, anything!
People of all ages and skill levels are welcome! You bring your curiosity, a smart phone with the iNaturalist app downloaded (or digital camera), and tons of enthusiasm. We’ll rally some experts and folks who know the area. Together we’ll make some science!
There will be two concurrent bioblitzes happening:
- A tidepool bioblitz of the rocky reef; and
- A terrestrial bibolitz on the bluffs above the reef!
Please sign up for the one you're interested in joining!
The fun happens during the low tide on Thursday, June 9. We'll explore the reef and the bluffs and document everything we can find for a few hours, then we'll all come back together to upload our observations, see what everyone else found, and get help with IDs.
