Duplicate Location ID - Can we merge?

What Wildbook are you working in? Internet of Turtles

What is the entire URL out of the browser, exactly where the error occurred? https://iot.wildbook.org/react/encounter-search

Can you describe what the issue is you’re experiencing? There are 2 Location IDs for San Gabriel River, one us nested under US West Coast, the other is nested under Southern California (which is under US West Coast)

Can you provide steps on how to reproduce what you’re experiencing? This occurs when entering the Location ID for an Encounter, and for a Search. I’m new so it may be occurring in other places.

We’d like the IDs to be merged ONLY if it does not impact any prior submissions. Given the existing construct, it would be more appropriate for the ID to be nested under Southern California

If this is a bulk import report, send the spreadsheet to services@wildme.org with the email subject line matching your bug report

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll add this to the location ID updates I need to make for this week.

When we consolidate duplicate location IDs, we also correct any existing encounters so that they’re no longer segmented. I’ll also review the file for any other potential duplicates.

I’ve removed the duplicate under US West Coast and left the one under Southern California:
