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 sandy beach to the rocky tidepools!
The public bioblitz of the Fort Ross tidepools is on Thursday, June 9, starting at 9 am. If you'd like to participate or want more information, please contact Sondra at sondrah@fortross.org.
A bioblitz is an intensive one-day study of biodiversity in a specific location. We’ll look for starfish, crabs, octopus, sea slugs, shorebirds, 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!
The fun happens during the low tide on Thursday, June 9. We'll explore the tidepools 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.
