You will also find information about the Survey 1-2-3 app for your smartphone

If

take place the week of June 26-July 3 and is a fun way to learn about the
biodiversity found around Long Island’s estuaries.  The training for the
event is tonight at 7 p.m. to introduce participants to the iNaturalist app and
the Bioblitz format. Please use the following link to register Bioblitz
