Build and nourish a network of recorders and experts Usable systems, excellent feedback, understanding motivations Collectively identify gaps in what to record and where Uplands, urban areas, invasives Understand challenges and opportunities from new data types How to take advantage of molecular data, photos. Assess and accounting for effort, ID certainty and bias Combining citizen science, structured monitoring. Data to help address emerging challenges? Ecology of species, species associations, environmental data.
