Collaborative data sharing

Conserve.io has worked with many groups to help west coast whales at risk. I appreciate their willingness to customize the app to educate boaters in the Pacific Northwest to reduce impacts on endangered orcas. They also share data with other apps, like NOAA’s default oil spill response tool, ERMA.

Many alerts for one whale confirmation

Gives many alerts over hours for one whale confirmation. Making it seem like there's multiple. Other than that I love the app
