Phase III Identifications.
Thanks all for a sterling job.
It is now time to start focusing on getting observations to Research Grade. However, with a backlog of 14,000 Unknowns, we also need people to tackle this group urgently
Of our 124,371 observations of 9,548 species (does not look like we will make 10,000 this year)
Needs ID 75,199 74,652 (66%) - (down 500) our goal was to get this below 30% by Sunday night.
of which 30,693 (25%) have been identified to species and need verification for Research Grade.
