Southern Bioblitz and EIANZ field trip
There will be 40 excited citizen scientists exploring Yunbenun (Magnetic) Island today for the 2022 EIANZ conference field trip and Great Southern Bioblitz
Reef Ecologic is encouraging everyone who lives in or visits the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area to capture pictures of wildlife you see on walks, snorkels, fishing trips or dives and upload them to iNaturalist.org. If you live further afield or can't make it out, you can still participate from home by helping to identify the wildlife in the observations!
The field trip is 28 October and is fully booked https://www.eianz.org/document/item/6694
Participants can take pictures from 28-31 October, and then have from 1-14 November to upload them to iNaturalist. People can also participate by helping to identify other people’s observations. This project aims to capture a snapshot of wildlife in the Southern Hemisphere.

And here is a link to a training video we made for a previous event that can help acquaint you with iNaturalist if you haven't used it before: https://youtu.be/2aAeBGkDY8Y
