The Great Southern Bioblitz 2021 is days away!
Hello everyone,
The Great Southern Bioblitz is back for another year. After an amazing event in 2020 the Southern Hemisphere once again gets the opportunity for a large-scale BioBlitz during its Spring. This year's observation period will run from October 22nd-25th, the perfect time for birds, flowering plants, bugs and more.
The City of Port Phillip map area can be found here => https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/projects/great-southern-bioblitz-2021-city-of-port-phillip
Spring is the peak time for most species with plants flowering following the cool damp winter and before the heat of summer. It's also the time when most fauna species are active. Large areas of Australia have had a wet winter and early spring this year, so the conditions should be perfect for you to get out and explore your local area to discover what’s around. So, please get involved in this event.
The goal is for members of the community and visitors to the City of Port Philip to record as many species as possible during the event dates. Participants are encouraged to submit all observations of plants, animals, insects etc. and it doesn’t matter if they’re from conservation areas, parks or even your backyard. It all counts and will help to demonstrate the diversity of species that call the area home.
Anyone can participate in the Bioblitz, whether as an individual, a family or as a member of an organisation.
This project has been setup to bring together all of the amazing observations that residents / visitors to the City of Port Philip will take during the Bioblitz, and also as a way to see how how other members of this great community are going.

Is there a boundary map for reference?
Hi @suzieandjim ,
Thanks for your message. If you navigate to the home page for this project (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/great-southern-bioblitz-2021-city-of-port-phillip), and then scroll to the bottom of the page you will find the boundary map for the City of Port Phillip.

Thanks for the speedy reply
Hi @suzieandjim ,
No worries. My son Ben was talking about you both today and was wondering whether you would be involved in GBS21 this year. Great to see that you are going to get involved.
Best wishes,
Tony
We may see you all out there in one of the areas.
You will easily recognize us, we will be the ones walking the cheetah ( only joking)
