obNoxious
Invasive species are an issue worldwide, but this app focuses on those species invading North America, specifically the United States. The obNoxious app servers two purposes:
- To provide an API resource available to the public that contains identifying information about noxious plant species.
- To provide an interface for authenticated users to report sightings of noxious species, thereby building a user-supported database that maps the distribution of some of North America's most tenacious invaders.
