We've raced past two milestones

We were really excited when the number of observations in the Australasian Fishes Project recently passed 200,000. Little could we imagine when the project began in 2016 that 7 years later, we would crack this milestone. As you can see from the graph below the number of observations continues to climb.
Equally exciting was seeing the number of contributors reach 7000 (it's now 7104). The graph below shows the steady increase in the number of contributors to the project.
Thank you everyone for your ongoing contribution toward making the Australasian Fishes Project an incredible database of ichthyological information for Australia and New Zealand.
I'm looking forward to seeing the project pass a quarter of a million observations. In the Comments section below, feel free to predict the date when you think we will pass this huge milestone. I've added mine.

My predicted date for reaching 250,000 observations is June 7th, 2023. :)

I think it'll be around New Years :) Well done on such a successful and informative project! I love reading the updates.

Thank you @lisa_bennett. I appreciate your involvement. :)
New Years may be a bit more realistic!

Looking at the growth in the chart, I reckon around 1 August (cos the weather is cooling, so maybe less people will be making observations).

Haha I realised I was reading the graph completely wrong. Goodness me, I needed more coffee, clearly. My revised estimate - mid-July :)

@susanprior - Nice thinking re the cooling weather (water temperatures). I didn't consider that.

@lisa_bennett - who knows... you might be right. :)

Good one @jmartincrossley. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. My guess is very optimistic.
