Boston Harbor Islands All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory



looking across the harborThe Farrell Lab, Museum of Comparative Zoology, and Boston Harbor Islands Partnership are collaborating to conduct an All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) of the Boston Harbor Islands national park area. The project focuses on the "microwilderness" of the islands, namely, insects and other invertebrates. This extremely diverse group of animals is easily sampled, yet often overlooked.

Our goal is to combine scientific research with public education, and to foster an appreciation for the amazing biological diversity that exists within Boston Harbor. The project aims to integrate three main themes: (1) Science, (2) Education and Outreach, and (3) Management.
