Project AWARE

Project AWARE’s Dive Against Debris app is designed for ocean advocates who are passionate about protecting marine life and maintaining clean, debris-free underwater environments. This innovative platform allows you to directly contribute to a crucial cause by reporting various types of marine debris and wildlife distress incidents encountered during your dives.

As a user, you have the capability to log every piece of trash you remove, as well as document instances where wildlife is found entangled or deceased due to debris. Not only does the tool empower you to record negative findings, but it also encourages the reporting of clean sites, which is equally important in building an accurate global dataset on marine debris.

One of the standout features of this platform is its robust data handling capability. You can upload multiple images from your device to provide visual evidence of your findings, thereby enhancing the credibility and usefulness of the reported data. Additionally, you can accurately plot your dive sites, which aids in calculating the surveyed areas correctly. This feature proves invaluable for systematic documentation and analysis.

Should you find yourself in areas with limited or no connectivity, it is designed to store your data locally and sync it once you resume connection, ensuring no data is lost and your contributions are counted. Moreover, its integration with social media channels gives leverage to share your impact, spreading awareness and inspiring others within your network to participate.

By downloading and utilizing the Project AWARE’s Dive Against Debris app, you become part of a global movement aimed at preserving the health of our oceans. It’s instrumental for anyone committed to marine conservation, providing a reliable and user-friendly game to make every dive count towards a cleaner, healthier ocean.
