Become a Citizen Scientist!

 

Have you spotted invasive species around Hawaii? Sign up on iNaturalist.org to record and share your species observations with a growing world-wide network. You can join the State of Hawaii: Aquatic Invasive Species group to document your observation of non-native aquatic species listed on our website. This additional data helps us in assessing where aquatic invasive species are located, and how their distributions may be changing.

iNaturalist shares the findings you report with scientific data repositories, such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). GBIF allows anyone, anywhere to access data about all forms of life on our planet Earth. Click here to view species observations that have been documented in Hawaii.
