Earlier this week, our team hit the water to record and photograph as many species as possible as part of the Great Southern Bioblitz — a citizen science event celebrating biodiversity across the Southern Hemisphere. Over the duration of the weekend our team and several other keen citizen scientists managed to log 127 observations of 82 species within Port Hacking! Check out the project on iNaturalist.org here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/great-southern-bioblitz-2025-port-hacking?tab=observations 🌿🐚 A huge thank you to Sydney Institute of Marine Science for their collaboration, and to Dolans Bay Marina for looking after us with their hospitality, boat support and dive site expertise. Together, we’re helping to build a better picture of our local marine biodiversity and inspire ocean stewardship and conservation. 💙 #GreatSouthernBioblitz #underwatermuseum #citizenscience #oceanconservation #marinelife #porthacking #sydneyaustralia #lovethereef (fb)
