Estuary BioBlitz

Estuary BioBlitz

Saturday, September 26

10:00am – 11:30am

Join Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve as we celebrate National Estuaries Week and National Public Lands Day in a fun BioBlitz challenge to see how many species can be documented at the Reserve. ‘Bio’ means ‘life’ and ‘Blitz’ means ”to do something quickly and intensively.” Together they make ‘BioBlitz’ — a collaborative race against the clock to discover as many species as possible within a set location during a defined time period.

It is easy to participate; simply join our event or make observations on your own using the iNaturalist app. With the iNaturalist app, simply take a picture of a species, and the online community will help identify the species. You can participate by exploring the nature and wildlife at the Reserve. Any observation you make will count during our event.
