Hi , looking to create a bioblitz for Fitzroy Island on marine life. Create a project however the location Fitzroy Island boundary only covers the mainland and not the reef.

There is no particular boundaries focuses on the reef sole at fitzroy. Is that something we can create? and customize?

Also -this is the project - change to cairns region to cover more boundry.

Welcome to the forum! I moved this post out of Bug Reports, since it isn’t clear that there is any bug and the Bug Report template wasn’t completed.

You can make custom places and add them to iNaturalist - see:  
[https://help.inaturalist.org/en/support/solutions/articles/151000175019-how-to-make-a-place-on-inaturalist](https://help.inaturalist.org/en/support/solutions/articles/151000175019-how-to-make-a-place-on-inaturalist)

For assessing what observations should/shouldn’t be included in certain projects, it helps to include links to the project and relevant observations.

This is the project:

Your problem is the “Media Type” setting. If you change that to “Any”, it will be OK. At the moment you only collect observations with both photos AND sounds, which is pretty restrictive.

I notice you still haven’t fixed the issue with your project settings, @azrisaparwan, so you still have no observations in it.
