Relive the BioBlitz!

The Biscayne BioBlitz was an outstanding opportunity to:
  • count, map and learn about the park's diverse organisms, ranging from microscopic bacteria to sea turtles weighing hundreds of pounds
  • unite scientists and the public in the field
  • add to the park's official species list
  • highlight the importance of protecting the biodiversity of this extraordinary place
If you made it to the Biscayne BioBlitz, thanks for helping make the event a huge success! And, if you weren't able to attend, learn about the fun and discoveries that occurred through the photo galleries, BioBlitz blog, and updates sent out through Twitter. There are also preliminary lists of the plant and animal species identified by BioBlitz participants.

Pioneer home on Elliott Key

Did You Know?
Elliott Key and other islands in Biscayne National Park were settled under the Homestead Act of 1862. This law gave free land to settlers willing to live on and farm a piece of land for five years. The main crops planted here were pineapples and key limes.
