Port Phillip Bay Marine Mammal Bioblitz

MMF is incredibly excited to announce it will be running its very first BioBlitz event. This Bioblitz event is an opportunity for all members of the community to get involved in marine mammal science as citizen scientists to document marine mammals in Port Phillip Bay and contribute to our knowledge of marine mammal distribution and habitat use.

This event is a great opportunity to meet like-minded peers and get involved in marine mammal research!

Once you've registered, you will receive an online training video in late February that will provide you with more information about how the Bioblitz event will run and what you can expect from the day. We will also host an online Q&A session before the event to answer any queries you may have about the day.
