Keeping the BioBlitz Series Alive/New Training Video

Hey there fellow observers and naturalists!

It's been some time since we last posted in our Journal, I hope you all have been staying safe and healthy during these trying times.

We at the Cape Perpetua Collaborative have been working away in the background on a few angles to this project and would like to share some of that progress with you.

First and foremost, we are trying to come up with ways to host "events" while maintaining safety protocols and procedures laid out for the COVID-19 Pandemic. Part of that, we hope, will take the form of socially distanced field trips in the coming year of 2021. In between potential BioBlitz events the project remains open for observation submittals, and we encourage all of you to continue contributing your data and observations; don't forget your masks and social distancing!

The second and final update for today is that we have a brand new training video now available for folks to watch. This video was developed in collaboration with Oregon's 5 Marine Reserve Community teams, of which the Cape Perpetua Collaborative is one of. This video offers some background information on BioBlitzing, how to use the iNaturalist website, and gives a brief overview of each of the 5 Marine Reserves in Oregon as well as places of interest for observing and surveying. Whether you're looking for a refresher course in BioBlitzing, information on Oregon's Marine Reserves or simply bored at home having binge watched all your favorite shows already, this video is a great resource we are proud to provide.

So that's it! Keep up the good work and keep your eyes on this page for future posts and event planning.

Much love and Happy Holidays,

-CPC Team
