Community application for Sargassum shoal observations

Community application for collecting and viewing Sargassum observations

This application allows any sea user (boater, fisherman, etc.) to report an observation of a sargassum raft and to specify the type (based on the nomenclature of Ody et al., 2019). The type of raft and the geographic coordinates, deduced from the position of the smartphone, are automatically stored on a server which then allows the observations to be viewed.

This application will allow you to set up a participatory science study and share knowledge between researchers on the subject and observers of the sea.

The "Research" section provides practical tools for scientists to measure rafts at sea
