Snapshot Trinidad Coast Bioblitz

Meet Trinidad Coastal Land Trust Ambassadors at Baker Beach on Sunday, June 13, between 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. for free coastal species guides, stickers, an iNaturalist demonstration, and then head down to any Trinidad Beach to gather observations for the Snapshot Trinidad Coast Bioblitz! A bioblitz is a community science effort to collect and share data on plant and animal species within a defined area and time period. Join us in celebrating World Ocean Day by getting outside and helping us capture a "snapshot in time" of the biodiversity of the Trinidad coastline between Big Lagoon and the Little River using the iNaturalist app. Our iNaturalist Project will be open for one week: from Monday, June 7 - Monday, June 14 as part of the statewide community science Snapshot Cal Coast effort to make and share observations of coastal plants, animals, and seaweeds. Together, we are gathering the data needed to determine species ranges currently and compare with the past and inevitable future changes.
