Discover new critters?
Save endangered species from climate change?
Maybe even help cure human diseases?
These things are possible - if the #CALeg approves and the Governor signs a DNA database for the estimated 27,000 species in California's #intertidal zone. We're so grateful to Assemblymember Ash Kalra for championing our #biodiversity budget request.
You can help, too -- sign our petition and get updates on what you can do! https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/intertidal-biodiversity
