Did you know that California is one of the top Global Biodiversity Hotspots? During Biodiversity Week you can experience the beauty for yourself all while supporting open spaces and participating in community science! Your photos can help protect California's rich biodiversity, and participation in simple. To participate, download the iNaturalist app for Google Play or the Apple app Store on a smart device, make an account and take photos of any plants or animals you see while enjoying the ocean, walking the beach or hanging out in the campground. That's it! 

To see your observations and ones from others, visit the project California Biodiversity Week 2025 - South Carlsbad State Beach Campground · iNaturalist.

Remember to consider your own safety and comfort while exploring the outdoors. Be prepared, pack out what you pack in, and leave nature where you found it. See you on the beach!
