ReefBlitz is an annual event that brings together students, divers, fishers, scientists and conservationists and multiple citizen science programs to help Queensland communities collect a snapshot of information relevant to reef health.
The citizen science tool iNaturalist is the method we use to record observations and in 2024 there were 2,573 observations of 651 species involving 104 observers and 189 identifiers
