I'm heavily involved in BioBlitzes across Australia as an organiser, survey leader and participant. I organised the City Nature Challenge for Sydney from 2020-2022, was one of the founding organisers of the Great Southern BioBlitz and organised the Sydney effort from 2020-2022, and co-organised the 2022 Big Bushfire BioBlitzes with Casey Kirchhoff. I also recently attended the 2022 Desert Discovery expedition to Yeo Lake Nature Reserve on the western edge of the Great Victoria Desert in Western Australia, and did almost four weeks of BioBlitzing across Western Australia with Nick Lambert, Pete Crowcroft, Ruby Stephens and Sophie Yang as part of fieldwork for my PhD, taking ~39,000 photographs of >1600 species during this time.

I'm a huge proponent of the online biodiversity citizen science platform iNaturalist, on which I'm a curator and forum moderator. I've uploaded over 54,000 observations to the platform across more than 8000 species, and have made >310,000 identifications for other users. You can find me on iNaturalist as ['thebeachcomber'](https://www.inaturalist.org/people/thebeachcomber).
