We have reached 1000 observations!

Thank you for your contribution(s) to the False Creek BioBlitz! I am excited to report that we have surpassed 1000 observations in our project.

I was thrilled to visit, along with our project scientific lead Dr. Matt Whalen, the most northern boundary of our project last week (the eastern side of Second Beach) at the July low tide event. We were joined by 3 Great Blue Herons, several Canada Geese and a few Crows as we moved along the waterline. I was surprised by how many ribbon worms and small polychaete worms we found - and pleased to find many healthy looking Ochre Stars.

We continue to plan and prepare ahead towards an exciting Labour Day long weekend when we bring together marine and terrestrial scientists to do sediment and plankton sampling, and pull up the recently deployed settlement plates in False Creek. More information coming soon!
