Quantifying Marine Debris
Marine Debris MAP is a platform to “visualize” collection activities around the world.
It is operated in two parts: a smartphone application that allows users to upload collected images, and a web version that visualizes the images on a map. The system in which activity records are easily posted on the app and data is shared in real time on the web version leads to a better understanding of the status of collection and an increase in the number of supporters. This makes it a revolutionary tool for data-driven solutions to the marine debris problem.
