MDEQ has developed a mobile app to capture crowdsourced data to engage citizens in collecting information about benthic algae conditions on the Smith River during the 2018 float season. Recipients of Smith River float permits are intended users of this app. Users are asked to collect photos exhibiting algae conditions and link those photos with spatial and temporal information. Agencies can then use these data to map and characterize algae conditions over space and time, and to perform public outreach in response to this emerging water quality concern. MDEQ is proposing this new and innovative citizen science and crowdsourcing project as a trial component of Montana’s volunteer monitoring program.
