Aquatic macroinvertebrates are small (but not microscopic) water-dwelling critters that are important to scientists, natural resource managers, anglers, conservationists, outdoor recreationists, hikers, educators, birds, fish, frogs, raccoons, and others.
MacroBlitz inspires and empowers people to find and photograph aquatic macroinvertbrates and upload these photos to iNaturalist for science and for learning. What do you find when you dip a net into a stream or pond? If you find a critter, take a photo and upload to iNaturalist to share your discoveries with the wold. That is MacroBlitz. Check out the MacroBlitz project on iNaturalist.
