Snapshot Cal Coast: Community Science Day Bioblitz (Bilingual)

June 13 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Free

Join the San Diego Bird Alliance, San Diego Coastkeeper, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the San Diego Natural History Museum for a community science day in honor of Snapshot Cal Coast 2026 on Saturday, June 13th, from 9:30 AM-12:00 PM.

Every summer, the California Academy of Science’s Center for Biodiversity and Community Science—with support and funding from the California Ocean Protection Council, and collaboration with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the MPA (Marine Protected Area) Collaborative Network, and many other partners—mobilizes communities from Del Norte to San Diego to make and share observations of plants, animals, and seaweeds along the California coast using the iNaturalist app.
Snapshot Cal Coast focuses on the rocky intertidal, but data from any coastal-influenced habitats along the California Coast, including sandy beaches, bays, wetlands, and docks, are important. By creating a real-time, statewide snapshot of current species ranges, we’re building a community of observers that provides valuable data for scientists at local, regional, and state levels, and answering targeted research questions in support of the California Coast.

 

We will document species on iNaturalist, learn about water-quality testing, and create artwork to celebrate the beauty of the Tijuana Estuary. This free, family-friendly event is a great way to explore all that the estuary has to offer while contributing to scientific data collection.

Please arrive a few minutes early to allow for check-in. 
More information will be sent upon registration. Please email [email protected] with any questions.
