The data collected from these fish, including size, weight, and location, is an important contribution to our understanding of halibut populations and the health of coastal ecosystems. It is just one example of the valuable data being collected by fishermen through the Citizen for Ocean Ecosystem Monitoring app.
The DO, conductivity, and pH sensors shown in this photo are essential tools for collecting high-quality data on the coastal environment. The data collected with these sensors is an important contribution to our understanding of coastal ecosystems and the factors that influence them. It is used by researchers to study the impacts of factors such as climate change and pollution, and to inform conservation and management efforts. We are grateful to the data collectors who use these sensors and the Citizen for Ocean Ecosystem Monitoring app to gather this valuable data.
Through the C4CEM app, individuals can play a crucial role in documenting and tracking plastic pollution. By taking photos and uploading them to the app, citizen scientists can help to create a detailed map of plastic pollution hotspots and identify the sources of this pollution. This information is used by researchers to study the impacts of plastic pollution and to inform efforts to reduce and prevent it.
By collecting and uploading photos of plankton to the Citizen for Ocean Ecosystem Monitoring app, individuals can help to build a comprehensive picture of plankton diversity, distribution, and abundance. This information is critical for understanding the impacts of factors such as climate change and pollution on marine ecosystems, and for informing conservation and management efforts.
