Join us on Thursday, April 2 at 3:00 PM or 8:30 PM (ET) for MacroBlitz Onboarding. In this one hour Zoom session, we will cover the basics of MacroBlitz and—new in 2026—review updated macrophotography options.

This session will be of interest to those involved in watershed and freshwater outreach and education. Note that MacroBlitz is additive to any current aquatic macroinvertebrate programming whether it is a "Meet the Macros" community awareness event or an in-depth water quality study. You do not need to change any existing protocols or equipment to contribute to MacroBlitz. If you do not have existing aquatic macroinvertebrate programming, MacroBlitz is for you, too.

Learn:

• what is MacroBlitz
• how to pick your sample site
• pointers for sampling, identification, and photography
• how to add your observations to the MacroBlitz project on iNaturalist
• and more!
