Jewell Cove Bioblitz + Shoreline Clean Up
Join us at Jewell-Steinhardt Cove for a Bioblitz extravaganza! What is a bioblitz you ask?..
A bioblitz is a communal citizen-science effort to record as many species within a designated location and time period as possible.
Bioblitzes are great ways to engage the public to connect to their environment while generating useful data for science and conservation. They are also an excuse for naturalists, scientists, and curious members of the public to meet in person in the great outdoors and are a lot of fun!
