KZN CTG 11 to 24 April

 As is often the case in mid-autumn, contributions to the atlas project have a tendency to slow, and this last fortnight was no different.
We had 6 submissions which contributed to the KZN Cards-to-Green project, with most movement in the south for change.
As can be seen from the table, there was one submission each in 2730, 2830 and 2930, while 3030 benefited from 3 cards.
This leaves 2830 as the degree square still n need of the most cards, at 322 and three pentads with no data and 73 pentads with only one card.
The next two degree squares needing the most cards are 2732 needing 187 and 2731, which needs 184 cards. 2732 also has the single biggest block of empty pentads, with seven located in the north-eastern part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park.

Tim Wood takes the honours this fortnight with 4 of the six cards, viz. the three 3030 cards as well as the one in 2930.
John Burchmore contributed the card in 2730 and Alan Taylor the one in 2830.

On the overall KZN front we had 4.2 cards submitted per day. The last time that we dipped to this level was in September to October 2012, when we experienced three successive fortnight's of 4.3, 4.9 and 3.6. At least the last two fortnight's just passed have had rates of 7.1 and 7.2 cards submitted / day.
Our records / card level is surprisingly holding up at 53.9, the last two fortnights have been 53.5 and 54.1. So while the card number have dropped, the records/card have not.
