🐚🦀 Join our Marine Biologist and coastal experts from Essex Wildlife Trust for a two-hour #BioBlitz on the West End Beach, Dovercourt. It’s the perfect opportunity for established, budding, or novice #citizenscientists to get involved by recording biodiversity data.
🌿 What’s a BioBlitz? It’s a focused way of recording what’s on the beach within a specified timeframe by #citizenscientists. The iNaturalist.org platform will be used to record the findings of the BioBlitz. Sharing data is vital for better understanding, including the impacts climate change is having on our #ecosystems.
