Our Woolacombe Bioblitz has two main aims:
Complete an 8 hour Bioblitz to find and identify flora and fauna in the Woolacombe biosphere.
Help the public to discover and learn about the Woolacombe biosphere.
Put North Devon on the Bioblitz circuit.
Coastwise contribution to the Bioblitz :-
We will act as host to the Bioblitz, i.e., provide facilities including accommodation on the day for the base camp and recording team, microscopes, tables and chairs and collection equipment, etc.. Coastwise will organise the marine Bioblitz events and will recruit help to organise the terrestrial events.
Public: Coastwise will lead the rock pool ramble events on Woolacombe and Barricane beaches. Coastwise will also contribute events and activities for children.
Overall, the public and Bioblitz events will usually take place simultaneously with experts, volunteers and public making valuable contributions. Coastwise will organise all events via timetabling and co-ordination, including options in the case of inclement weather or postponement.
We have Partners who’ll be helping including Devon Wildlife Trust, AONB, National Trust and the Marine Biological Association.
