Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative The Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative is a partnership between Nantucket conservation organizations, universities, non-governmental organizations, and individuals interested in documenting the biodiversity of the islands and adjacent waters and monitoring and conserving that biodiversity over time.
NBI's 5th Biennial Biodiversity Assessment Week May 16th to 22nd 2012 Biodiversity Week is a week-long series of walks, talks and events to celebrate and explore the unique biodiversity of Nantucket. There are events for children, the general public, researchers, and naturalists - there is really something for everyone! Check our NBI Biodiversity Week website for information on events to particpate in and to register if you are interested in leading any events.
