Leonard was out this week, but our team really planned out our tasks and was able to coordinate offline and leading up to the outreach and social media presentation. Shoutout to Kelly, Leonard, and Julissa their teamwork really shined this week.

Since my focus is the data management and our map, this week, I worked on creating a mock-up for our map. It was fun to start learning Storymaps – Parisa, the digital fellow, has been super helpful in navigating and coming up with solutions with me.

We are still keeping options open on finalizing our platform (between Storymaps, which is open access or paid ArcGIS). We are open to using data publish on living atlas, but we don’t want to compromise on styling, customization, and aesthetic editing. Depending on what features are available on Storymaps, we’ll finalize our decision.

See our first draft of our map below!
