This is the administrative account for the Georgian Bay Biosphere (GBB).

Georgian Bay Biosphere is a region of global ecological significance that makes an ongoing commitment to the United Nations to strive for sustainability. Here, people are inspired to live and work in harmony with nature. The Georgian Bay Biosphere is situated within Anishinaabek territory, and we partner with First Nations and Indigenous peoples to care for our shared air, land, and water.

Georgian Bay Biosphere is also a non-profit registered Canadian charity. We are a community-based organization that works with partners in our region to protect the environment, create vibrant communities and support a healthy economy by building capacity through education and culture.

You can learn more about our work at www.gbbr.ca.

Here we will be posting records of things we find around out office, in the field, and more...especially by summer students and staff who do not have an iNaturalist account. We hope to gather more information about the species on the eastern coast of Georgian Bay to better understand threats and where efforts into research and mitigation should be directed.
