Description
Seacoast Science Center will host its 24th annual BioBlitz on Sunday, September 20, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Odiorne Point State Park in Rye. The day-long community science event brings scientists, naturalists, students, families and nature enthusiasts together to explore the park and document as many species as possible.
Participants will search a variety of habitats across Odiorne Point’s 135-acre coastal campus, including rocky shores, tide pools, forests, fields and wetlands. Along the way, they’ll learn how species are connected, how scientists monitor biodiversity, and why healthy coastal habitats are important to conservation and climate resilience.
Since the first BioBlitz in 2003, participants and scientists have identified more than 2,400 species at Odiorne Point. The resulting catalog provides a valuable snapshot of the park’s biodiversity and helps demonstrate the variety of life found within this coastal ecosystem.
