Description:
A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding, identifying, and recording as much biodiversity as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. The Sea Grant Great Lakes BioBlitz is an event in collaboration with members of the Great Lakes Sea Grant Network and the Sea Grant Center for Great Lakes Literacy.
This is an opportunity for people in the Great Lakes region (i.e., Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ontario, Canada) to collectively observe and compare and share the biodiversity they find in their communities. Teachers, educators, students, families, and anyone interested in environmental literacy is encouraged to participate. Contact Marte Kitson for more information.
