The National Aquarium has created a “Borrow A BioBlitz” kit available for loan – free of charge! – to support the citizen science efforts of local Maryland organizations. This kit consists of six supply bins, with each bin dedicated to a different taxon: Amphibians & Reptiles, Aquatics, Birds, Insects, Mammals, and Plants. Each bin contains a variety of field guides for identification of wildlife as well as hands-on items for nature exploration. This kit is intended to increase the capacity of organizations that are currently providing, or plan to provide in the future, citizen science programming and/or BioBlitz events. The National Aquarium was able to create this kit with funding from Samsung and the National Environmental Education Foundation.
