Quality and validity

Lineage

The data were recorded by school students as part of an educational survey. Students were told to confirm problematic identifications with an expert instead of guessing. Lengths were recorded using a caliper. While gps coordinates were provided for transect start points the end points had to be extrapolated using the bearings provided and photographic evidence of the location.
