AMPI vs Eye on the Reef

The Australasian Marine Pilots Institute (AMPI) is the peak professional body representing pilots across the Australasian region. The AMPI mobile App is an information-sharing tool to help improve maritime safety and enhance engagement amongst its members and maritime industry stakeholders. The App also contains a variety of useful information resources regarding pilot transfer arrangements for operational reference purposes. The 'Next Port Report Forms' enable Australian marine pilots to notify the next port where non-compliance with the pilot transfer requirements is identified. Users must agree to the User Agreement to gain access to the App. The AMPI mobile App is another great step forward to improve maritime safety outcomes for marine pilots throughout the Australasian region - proudly developed by Australian developers 'App Wizard' (appwizard.com.au). For further information, or to report technical issues with the App, please contact the App developers via email to info@appwizard.com.au

Eye on the Reef allows you to submit reef health data, animal sightings, or incidents on the Great Barrier Reef. The app also gives fishers and other Reef users access to zoning rules in the Marine Park with interactive maps which work outside of mobile range. The app empowers anyone with a mobile phone to join our network of citizen scientists and contribute GPS-tagged observations. You can submit photos of what you have seen out on the Reef — this can include wildlife (including protected species), pests like crown-of-thorns starfish, marine pollution, coral bleaching, or special events like coral spawning. Whether you're a fisher, tourist, or scientist, let's work together to protect one of the world's most iconic natural wonders for generations to come.
