The aim of this workshop is to give students an appreciation of Saudi biodiversity, in particular of the coastal plain and mangroves. We will use the iNaturalist citizen science platform to log species that we find around campus. With over a million users, iNaturalist helps researchers collect biodiversity data from all around the world. Professional ecologists will help students identify the species they find.
