Seeker

Invasive Species App

The Seeker app is designed to bridge the gap of knowledge and dissemination of knowledge between public citizens, researchers, and the government. It will help to better inform citizens on the issues surrounding invasive species, help researchers currently working on the issues with data collection, find new perspectives and trends, and help the government with creating policies in dealing with invasive species.
