Do you love to walk beaches and search for washed up treasures? Are you interested in becoming a citizen scientist? Beach Observer is the app for you! Get involved by simply taking a photo and recording what you have observed. It’s that easy!

Here are the categories of things you can observe:
• Biological (i.e. live or dead animals and plants)
• Manmade (i.e. plastic, metal, glass, wood, and other)
• Chemical (i.e. hazardous, non-hazardous, and other)
• Habitat (i.e. a beach profile, and other)
• Other (i.e. anything that does not fit in either of the categories)

Beach Observer is a tool to help assist with observing, recording and monitoring coastal shorelines around the world. Track wildlife, marine debris, pollution and other unique things with this interactive citizen science app.

In-app bonuses:
• Download a database of all your observations
