Wet and Wild Bioblitz September 17 - 18, 2022

Join the Invasive Species Council of BC  on September 17th and 18th (2022) for our first annual aquatic Bioblitz! Report native and invasive flora (plants) and fauna (animals) species in freshwater (e.g., lakes, ponds, wetlands, and streams) , riparian , or marine (e.g., oceans, reefs, and intertidal zones) environments. Freshwater ecosystems interact closely with riparian areas – the zones of lush, green, moisture-loving vegetation that surround lakes, streams, wetlands, and rivers. Both freshwater and marine ecosystems are critical habitats for native plants and animals, including threatened species. Community science observations in aquatic ecosystems play a vital role in our understanding of native biodiversity and tracking new infestations of invasive species.
