Save The Waves: Crowdsourcing Coastal Data for Protection
Save The Waves is a free iPhone app developed by Save The Waves Coalition. This innovative app allows coastal users to contribute to the protection of surf ecosystems by crowdsourcing data on key coastal threats. Users can easily identify and report issues such as illegal development, plastic pollution, and poor water quality by simply snapping a photo of the impacted site, which is geotagged by the phone's GPS.
The app then shares this valuable data with on-the-ground practitioners, coastal agencies, and protected area managers in the Save The Waves Coalition. By harnessing the power of smartphone technology and the collective efforts of users, the app helps to identify and reduce threats to surf ecosystems worldwide. It empowers local communities to become active stewards in the protection of these precious ecosystems, ensuring their long-term sustainability.
With its user-friendly interface and powerful functionality, Save The Waves is a must-have tool for anyone passionate about preserving our coastal environments. Download the app today and join the global community of surf ecosystem protectors.
