MINKA workshop: How to contribute to BioPlatgesMet citizen science project?

This presentation summarizes a practical workshop for EADA students introducing citizen science and why contributing matters: individual observations, when shared can strengthen research, environmental awareness, and beach management. It presents BioPlatgesMet as a citizen science initiative monitoring biodiversity on metropolitan beaches around Barcelona, and explains how to participate using MINKA, the platform where you create an account, join the BioPlatgesMet project, and upload geolocated photos and basic details so the community can help validate identifications. The presentation closes with next steps: join the project, start submitting observations regularly (alone or with classmates), learn from feedback to improve data quality, and stay connected to future activities and results sharing.

Abstract

This presentation summarizes a practical workshop for EADA students introducing citizen science and why contributing matters: individual observations, when shared can strengthen research, environmental awareness, and beach management. It presents BioPlatgesMet as a citizen science initiative monitoring biodiversity on metropolitan beaches around Barcelona, and explains how to participate using MINKA, the platform where you create an account, join the BioPlatgesMet project, and upload geolocated photos and basic details so the community can help validate identifications. The presentation closes with next steps: join the project, start submitting observations regularly (alone or with classmates), learn from feedback to improve data quality, and stay connected to future activities and results sharing.
