TALLAHASSEE, FL (352today.com) – Need a new screentime habit that doesn’t involve endlessly scrolling social media or literally watching two dudes talk about something for an hour on YouTube? The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and “citizen science” platform Zooniverse have got you.

The FWC has invited eagle-eyed nature lovers to participate in the Florida Wildlife Watch photo project, which is aimed at identifying animals captured by trail cameras placed throughout the Sunshine State’s more than six million acres of public lands that make up the commission’s Wildlife Management Area system.

It’s easy. It’s fun and exciting. It brings with it the possibility that you might be done doing anything else for the rest of the day.

Basically, you just visit the link, and the page starts showing you trail cam shots (some with animals in them, some without) next to a grid of species. If there’s an animal in the picture, you click on it in the grid, answer a few more questions–such as how many of the animal are in the pic and whether or not baby or young subjects are present–submit you report and you’re on to the next image.

Interested “citizen scientists” can register to get a more robust experience and access to other Zooniverse projects, but it’s not required to participate.

“Florida Wildlife Watch connects people at home to nature while having a real impact on conservation,” said Graysen Boehning, FWC statewide participatory science coordinator. “Even just a few classifications can be incredibly important in helping us understand the incredible ecosystems and wildlife we have here in Florida.”

Florida Wildlife Watch comes on the heels of, and is in some part an expansion of, FWC and Zooniverse’s previous collaborations, like Everglades Wildlife Watch, and helps the commission get a better overview of the ecosystem.

In just a few minutes, this reporter identified deer, gopher tortoises, an opossum, various small reptiles and mammals (there are boxes in the grid for “miscellaneous” species), and even a wild hog. (This reporter also spent way too much time searching for animals in images that didn’t have any in them.)

It’s a fun and helpful way to contribute to the FWC’s mission. There are countless images to peruse, but there are also countless Floridians looking for something cute, interesting and helpful to do online, so there’s no telling how long (or not long) the project may last. We suggest you sign up today; there’s no telling what you might see.
