Citizen Scientists Join Great Barrier Reef Blitz 2023

A concentrated eight day effort to document biodiversity across the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area kicks off this week, with citizen scientists welcome to participate in “Reef Blitz 2023,” in the water, along the shore or in any place on the planet. “Reef Blitz is a citizen science event using the app iNaturalist, which is the world’s largest citizen science database,” says Dr Rachelle Brown, a marine scientist at Reef Ecologic, which is spearheading the event.
