Guam - iNaturalist World Tour

Its Week 14 of the iNaturalist World Tour. This week we'll visit Guam in the Pacific, Nepal in Asia, Morocco, Malawi, Egypt, and Ethiopia in Africa, and the Bahamas in the Caribbean.

We begin in Guam. The top observer is @aaashton with observations mostly of sea creatures clustered around Apra Harbor on the west side of the island. The second top observer is @aubreymoore, an entomologist working at the University of Guam, with observations clustered at the Uniersity along with several other top observers such as @carol_kwok, @leaf and @jakemanuel. @jakemanuel is studying agriculture and life sciences at the University of Guam. @micahfreedman's observations are clustered to the northern end of the island where he worked on the Ecology of Bird Loss Project. @ttadevosyan, working US Geological Survey Brown Treesnake Project, also has observations clustered north of the University. @ninamp, a graduate student at University of Guam, @juliaschwierking, and @glokplopit have observations clustered towards the southern end of the island.

There was a peak in observations during April, 2018 when several project including the aphid project administered by @weixiao2, the ag bi 345 f15 project administered by @aubreymoore and the fa 15 uog crb damage survey project administered by @umijin - all associated with the university, were in full effect.

The top identifier is @jasonrgrant who also leads in plant IDs. @borisb leads in insect IDs and @maractwin in fish IDs. Thanks to other top identifiers such as @lisa_bennett, @manila_folder, and @kemper

What can we do to improve iNaturalist in Guam? Please share your thoughts below or on this forum thread.
