This APP will empower Santa Fe residents and norther New Mexicans to make decisions about their natural resources, and in the process of becoming so will be trained and made more knowledgeable and capable in the areas of Science,Technology and Math through citizen science. People who currently are unable or are unwilling to actively participate in governmental decisions will have new participation channels opened to them, in the form of citizen science environmental monitoring opportunities.

Using internal hardware of the phone such as GPS, camera, and compass, Getting Ecowiser will capture georeferenced photos, videos and stream ecology data for endangered Southwest US rivers and the communities that depend on them. The APP will be used by a diverse group of NGOs, schools, and tribes focusing on ecological sustainability in the Santa Fe, Taos, and Raton NM areas. The project will use methods to create incentives to increase public participation such as a rewards system that gives the user coupons to local businesses after a certain amount of data collection.
