The Great Lakes Angler Diary was developed by Brenton Consulting, LLC, with funding from Michigan State University Extension, Michigan Sea Grant, and Detroit Area Steelheaders. The purpose of this app is to allow anglers to record their catches and share information with biologists. At a minimum, anglers are asked to record the following for all steelhead (rainbow trout) caught during the fishing season: - Length (to nearest quarter inch) - Fate (kept or released) - Sex (male or female) - Fin clips
Ocean Pavilion
Read full descriptionHide full description
The ocean is our planet’s life-support system and is a critical part of Earth’s climate. It is also a source of hope and holds a wealth of opportunity to help solve many of humanity’s most pressing challenges, including climate change. The Ocean Pavilion is returning to the Blue Zone in Dubai with a fundamental message to COP delegates and attendees: The ocean is fundamental to the planetary systems that regulate our climate, and that delicate balance is increasingly in peril due to human activity. But with careful, science-based solutions and informed policy decisions, the ocean could restore balance and help us chart a path out of our climate crisis.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GL Angler Diary at none against Ocean Pavilion's shown. GL Angler Diary also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Ocean Pavilion's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
