Join PADI AWARE Foundation™ volunteers around the globe who take action for an ocean free of marine debris and work together to save marine wildlife.
PADI AWARE’s innovative app can be used to contribute to the Dive Against Debris® citizen science project by reporting the types and quantities of marine debris items found underwater as well as entangled or dead wildlife. If your survey site was free of debris, be sure to still report it. Together we’re building a global dataset to help provide an accurate perspective of marine debris found in the ocean and helping find solutions to prevent debris entering the ocean in the first place.
Key features include:
- Record all trash items removed as well as entangled or dead wildlife found
- No debris found? Report that your survey site was free of debris
- View and share your own contribution to the global dataset
- Share your impact via social media channels
- Upload multiple images directly from your device
- Easily plot your dive site to calculate the area surveyed
- No connection? No problem - the app will store your data until you have resumed connectivity
