Beach Explorer vs Observation

Amber, sunfish, message in a bottle... Many interesting things are washed upon the Northsea shores. But hardly anyone has recorded so far what is being stranded. Using the Beachxplorer-app you can identify more than 2000 different finds directly on the beach. You can report all these finds to the BeachExplorer database. In case of species that are rare or difficult to identify a proof picture is requested. This allows verification of the determination and serves as proof if you collect observation scores as "species hunter". If you are interested in marine protection you are invited to find additional informations in our web portal www.beachexplorer.org

With Observation you can easily record nature observations in the field. Our online image recognition AI helps you identify the species on your images. You can choose to use the app offline anywhere in the world. Your observation data is stored on your phone first. Saved observations can be uploaded to Observation.org when online. This app is part of Observation.org; an EU-based platform for world wide biodiversity monitoring and citizen science. Observations that you save in your account are publicly visible for everyone who visits Observation.org. Take a look at the website to see what other observers have recorded and explore all data collected by our community. Observations are validated by species experts, after which the records are made available for scientific research.
