Explain the need for dashboard--difficult to pull all the data from each of the various sources and do the formatting and summaries. Dashboard does spatially referenced imports and error checking, formatting, summaries, viz... Useful even if only interested in NPS data and not seeing what other agencies collected. Use for initial exploration, identification of potential problems--does NOT do the trend estimations b/c that requires careful consideration of the sites, incorporation of covariates, etc. and should not be a black-box exercise.
Advanced use one should go into more details of customizing season, etc.
