Hi @VTDonn - I moved this question over to the #general category. Looks like there is some precedent for using iNaturalist to collect observations for admins to import into iMapInvasives, e.g. see this project: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/imapinvasives-usa-and-canada-invasive-species?tab=about by @wisel, @shelngreg, and @jmarino and these terms on the Oregon project: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/oregon-imapinvasives-collector?tab=about
iMapInvasives staff/etc can download iNaturalist data through exporting a CSV, through the API, or elsewhere (like GBIF), so fetching and importing data should be feasible in many ways and doesn’t require any effort on behalf of the person making the observations.
