GRAB YOUR GEAR AND JOIN NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC AND THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE APRIL 30–MAY 1, 2010
Presented and sponsored by National Geographic and the National Park Service, BioBlitz is a 24-hour inventory of the species in Biscayne National Park. Scientists and naturalists will team up with students and members of the general public to explore the park's aquamarine waters, emerald islands and fish-bejeweled coral reefs, observing and recording as many species as possible.
Sylvia Earle, renowned oceanographer and National Geographic explorer-in-residence; and Kenny Broad, a National Geographic emerging explorer and director of the University of Miami’s Leonard and Jayne Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy, are among the participating scientists.
Bring your friends to Biscayne National Park, and help the experts count species of fish, plants, bugs, birds, corals, and other organisms that reside there.
The goals of the BioBlitz are to add to species lists for as many taxonomic groups as possible and to increase public awareness about biodiversity in an urban environment.
Families are welcome. Children ages 10 and older are best suited for expedition teams, but age-appropriate opportunities will also be available for younger children at Convoy Point base camp. One adult required for every four children.
