Document the condition of the Boeung Tumpun retention wetland edge (2026-07-18)

Boeung Tumpun's open water and reed edge shrink a little more with each infill project nearby, reducing the wetland's capacity to hold monsoon overflow before it reaches housing. A repeatable photo survey builds a public record of the edge's condition over time. Standard: Ramsar Convention wetland guidance; SDG 15.1 (conserve inland freshwater ecosystems). Proof: 5-point photo survey + condition log Method (Ramsar Convention wetland guidance; SDG 15.1 (conserve inland freshwater ecosystems).): 1. Walk the public road or path around the wetland edge without entering the water. 2. Photograph the wetland edge at each of the five marked survey points. 3. Note visible infill, reed loss, or open-water extent in the log. 4. Record weather and water-level conditions. 5. Submit the photo set and log as the survey record. Done when: 5-point photo survey + condition log

Pay

$80 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

5-point photo survey + condition log

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: EPA National Wetland Condition Assessment (rapid method)

Bring

• GPS phone
• quadrat frame
• invasive-species ID reference
• boots
• insect protection
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the wetland edge; record GPS; stay on stable ground.
2. 2. Photograph 3 quadrat stations.
3. 3. At each station, estimate percent cover native vs invasive; identify the dominant invasive.
4. 4. Note hydrology / water level and any disturbance.
5. 5. Enter cover percentages, invasive ID, hydrology, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Standing water + wildlife (snakes/alligators) -> maintain distance; never sample alone.
• High invasive cover -> flag for a management/removal plan.

What counts as done

• Percent cover native vs invasive recorded at 3 stations
• Dominant invasive species identified
• Hydrology / water-level note recorded
• GPS waypoints + quadrat photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
