Observadores del Mar
Website by which people in contact with the sea can share their observations and experience regarding changing phenomena in this environment, which is useful for various marine research projects.
Citizens often notice, for example, the presence of invasive species, the massive mortality of organisms or the accumulation of microplastic on beaches and can share such information with the scientific community. With the received data, distribution maps and warning maps are generated that facilitate the management of the marine environment.
