Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
Description
A group of 12 Long-finned Squid just off the dock. They were milling around most of the morning and early afternoon
Hi,
According to my Peterson Guide (and others), they are the most common squid between Cape Cod, MA and Cape Hatteras, NC. So I'm sure they can be found in CT, but specifically where I don't know, I would ask a local fisherman. I know locally (near Galilee, RI) they've been catching quite a bit just off shore this year. These are the guys you eat or use for bait (a waste). It was somewhat unusual to see them in Potter Pond (a saltwater tidal pond), although I have seen them here before, just was never able to get photos until yesterday.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)

In Rhode Island?! That's awesome. Do you know if there's anywhere to see them in Connecticut?
