Sailing for CEDO Challenge
Using the iNaturalist app every observation you make can help contribute to biodiversity science. This data is used by scientists all over the world, and your findings will be included in the global scientific data repositories – “From thousands of sea animals to the common seashore birds, all you need to do is observe!”
Remember you can take pictures while sailing, snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, tide pooling, beach combing or diving…just anytime you are in, on, or near the water!
