Description

Invasive species are non-native plants, animals, and insects that harm native species, ecosystems, native people’s cultural resources, and industries such as agriculture, forestry, and hydropower. Expansions of global trade and increases in human mobility have resulted in unprecedented invasion by invasive species. These species threaten biodiversity, habitat quality, and ecosystem function and are believed to have contributed to the decline of 42% of the endangered and threatened species in the United States. In Washington, the costs of dealing with invasive species are in the millions of dollars each year.

Managing invasive species here in Washington State is complex due to the number and types of pathways through which species are introduced. A number of local, state and federal agencies and organizations work to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species, physically control or eradicate them, monitor their distribution, and understand their characteristics. Now you can help contribute to identifying and reporting invasive species before they become a bigger problem. The goal of this mobile app is to make species identification easier and help improve detection and reporting of harmful invasive species statewide

You can submit invasive species sighting reports directly with your mobile device where they occur. These sighting reports are submitted to Washington Invasive Species Council (WISC) staff and technical experts throughout the state to review and approve sighting reports. Sightings that are approved will be viewable directly through the app’s mapping tool. You can also learn more about priority invasive species in Washington with easy-to-understand descriptions and images. This mobile app is part of an integrated invasive species reporting and outreach campaign for WISC that also includes a website with an online reporting form.

FEATURES
- GPS and Photo Tools Easy species reporting uses your GPS to capture your current location and an image of your sightings.
- Offline Caching Report sightings that can be saved on your phone for uploading when you have network connectivity.
- Easy-to-Learn Species Info Images and information on Washington Invasive Species Council’s priority plant and animal species.
- View other sighting reports Dynamic distribution maps showing confirmed sightings of all species captured through the app from your current location.

ABOUT THE WASHINGTON INVASIVE SPECIES COUNCIL
Established by the Legislature in 2006, the Council provides policy-level direction, planning, and coordination for combating harmful invasive species throughout the state and preventing the introduction of others that may be potentially harmful.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

1 ★They don't recognize domestic cats as a possibility of an invasive species.
4 ★Flying bug landed on my shirt, swatted it down, (killing it, but not squashed) Looked wierd- ?Emerald green ash borer? Sparkly especially on bottom. I threw it away after taking several photos. This bug was over 1" long tho, about 1/2" wide- so I may be mistaken about the name Mark
4 ★Tells me what I want to know.
3 ★I feel that the full opportunity of this app is not being utilized. Please add more than 1 picture per plant. Leaf pattern, different stages of growth, etc should not be described in words, use pictures! Most of us are not botanists, don't use phrases like "creeping rhizomes" or "over winter rosette".
5 ★Wish it inluded more, not just 'Priority'.
1 ★I love this concept, but was unable to get the app to work. When I completed step 5 (entering my name and contact info) it took me back to step 4 instead of submitting my sighting. It does this in an infinite loop, rendering the app completely useless to me. I'd love to revise my review if this glitch is fixed!
5 ★Very helpful
5 ★Educational and hoping it helps the database
5 ★Great resource. I don't know who sees it or how often the reported siting information is reviewed, but that is also a nice feature.
3 ★Needs more details and an expanded list of invasive species.
