Moving to the 'Cards to Green' effort,I have not been keeping absolute track of who has been doing what, but the biggest movement has also been in the north east, and glancing through the lists, John & Kim Cox's names have been appearing very regularly.
At 8-Jun, KZN was short of 2 442 surveys to turn the entire province green on the coverage map. At 3-Aug we needed 56 cards less. Besides the 10 cards in new pentads, we also had 18 fewer pentads needing 3 cards. This is quite an achievement, because it means that we submitted 28 cards for pentads needing three cards. We now have 18 less, plus the ten that had no cover, i.e. for every pentad with no data that we submit a card for, we increase the number of pentads for which we need three cards.
For this reason we now have 8 more pentads which need two cards to turn green. We can pat ourselves on the back however, since we actually reduced the number of pentads that only need one card by three.
On average we have been submitting 1.4 cards per day that contribute towards the 'KZN Cards to Green' mini-project.
Just to put a geographic perspective for which degree squares these 81 cards to green have been submitted [the Degree Square followed by cards]:
2832 14
2831 12
2930 12
2730 8
2931 8
2632 7 [Only counting those in KZN]
2929 6 [Only counting those in KZN]
2830 5
2732 4
2731 2 [Only counting those in KZN]
2829 2 [Only counting those in KZN]
3029 1 [Only counting those in KZN]
If one looks at the accompanying map, you can see the development of a contigously atlased block stretching north from Mtunzini north along the N2. This could quite easily rival the block along the N3 stretching north-west from the coast.
Thanks to all who have are participating in the project, lets keep up the good work.
