Albany, WA creates Freshwater Turtle Survey app to inform policies on threatened species

Albany, WA Freshwater Turtle Survey App Threatened Species

In Progress

The council's GIS team created the app to assist with data gathering on the southwestern snake-necked turtle. Volunteers are encouraged to fill out turtle location and sighting details using a simple survey. A dashboard maintains a running list of reported sightings as well as a heat map. App users can select filters for time periods and turtle ages to produce more specific maps. Albany officials use data from the app to better protect turtle nests from human interactions.
