Objectives:
Reach Wider & Diverse Audiences: Encouraging increased participation in citizen science to collect more data.
Increase Observational Data Gathered: On issues including water quality, environmental conditions and visitor activity.
Support Evidence-based Decision Making: Turn citizen observations into actionable insights that support planning and resource management.
Outcomes:
Real-Time Visibility of Site Conditions: With the ability for visitors to share observations 24/7, teams gain a deeper insight into water quality, pollution and bathing site usage.
Reduction in Repeat Queries to Staff: By automating repeat queries, Hello EA has saved 1300+ hours of staff time to focus on other important priorities.
Stronger Evidence Base for Reporting & Funding: With richer, more insightful data gathered, teams are gaining more measurable data to support reporting and funding cases.
