A unified interface for citizen scientists, divers, and marine observers to contribute data globally.
Tiny plastic particles less than 5mm in size that result from the breakdown of larger plastic debris in marine environments.
Microplastics contaminate marine food chains, affecting marine life health and potentially human health through seafood consumption.
Traditional detection methods are time-consuming and expensive, making large-scale monitoring difficult for researchers and conservationists.
Advanced AI and machine learning technologies can automate detection, enabling faster and more accurate monitoring of microplastic pollution.
Marine data collection is fragmented across multiple platforms and organizations, making it difficult for citizen scientists to contribute meaningfully to conservation efforts. Existing tools are often complex and not user-friendly.
Without accessible data collection tools, the vast potential of citizen science for marine conservation remains untapped. This limits our ability to monitor ocean health at the scale and frequency needed for effective conservation.
The Blue Dataverse App provides a unified, user-friendly platform that enables anyone to contribute high-quality marine data while connecting them to a global community of ocean advocates and researchers.
