Week 1 Challenges
Now that you're (hopefully) getting ready for some iNaturalist action, we wanted to provide everyone with a launching point. Every week, there will be two challenges: an aquatic challenge and a terrestrial challenge. You can pick and choose either one, or none at all, but we’d love it if you did both! This week’s challenges are listed below. Every Monday, we will feature photos on our social media from the previous week that we found particularly intriguing. Please submit your observations by Sunday night to be considered. We look forward to seeing what you encounter!
Aquatic Challenge:
Don’t leaf it behind! Take a photo of any leafed plant living in water.
Terrestrial Challenge:
Ins(p)ect it! Take a photo of an insect. Remember: an insect has a hard exoskeleton (similar to a shell), a three-part body (a segment for their head, body, and rear), antennae, and 3 pairs of legs (6 in total!)

How do you get your photos to be included with the project?
Would love to take part in these, but no one's replying to my question, and I can't figure out how to get my photos included.
Hello! So sorry for just getting back to you. To upload your photos to the project, you'll first need to join the project to make sure you're a participant. This can be done by opening the iNaturalist app, selecting the tab on the right side at the bottom of the screen that says "projects", and searching the 2024 Sea Grant Great Lakes BioBlitz project. Then, to upload photos, select the picture of the camera at the bottom of the screen that says "observe". Either take a picture or upload one from your camera roll. Press "add" in the top right corner. This will take you to another screen, where you can identify the image, add notes, etc. At the bottom of this page, you'll see a tab titled "Projects". The 2024 Sea Grant Great Lakes BioBlitz should be a listed project. There will be a note that all observations will be automatically included in a collection if they meet its requirements. Then, press "share" at the bottom of your screen, and the photo should be automatically uploaded into the project!
