The Marine BioBlitz is an exciting and educational event that celebrates the marine biodiversity of the Sydney Coast Hope Spot and adjacent waters. Taking place over the whole month of March, this event showcases community-driven conservation, scientific exploration, arts and culture for marine enthusiasts of all ages.
Bring your curiosity and become a citizen scientist working with experts to collect important biodiversity data of local marine species. Whether you're a seasoned marine biologist or just love the ocean, the bioblitz offers a diverse schedule of expeditions and activities for all ages, abilities and interests.
Our Sydney Coast BioBlitz is about celebrating people and nature and we all have a part to play in our Biosphere. It is a great opportunity to celebrate our coastal and marine environments and role as citizen scientists within our Biosphere community. While thinking globally and acting locally, we can celebrate and share our learnings as part of a world network of biosphere reserves.
