About the application:

Are you concerned about the amount of plastic waste ending up in our oceans? Receive involved as a citizen scientist by using the Ocean Plastic Survey to assist The Ocean Cleanup and the global community to better understand ocean plastic pollution. Developed by The Ocean Cleanup’s leading scientists, this apk is easy to handle and, with the use of your phone, allows you to report to a global database of the floating plastic debris you encounter while sailing, travelling, or working on the ocean. Why use the Ocean Plastic Survey? It is fun, it is simple to use, and it generates necessary global data for citizens, scientists, and decision makers to move forward in reducing ocean plastic pollution. By using the Ocean Plastic Survey you can join our mission to rid the world’s oceans of plastic and be part of the biggest cleanup in history. How to perform an Ocean Plastic Survey? Download the Ocean Plastic Survey apk, charge your smartphone battery, and set out to the ocean aboard a secure vessel. Follow the on-screen instructions and when you are ready, you will record in true time the plastic stuff you identify on the water surface by tapping the categories on the survey screen. Using Ocean Plastic Survey is rewarding: • Contribute to a global understanding of ocean plastic pollution • Get involved as a citizen scientist with The Ocean Cleanup by collecting necessary ocean plastic data • Help The Ocean Cleanup improve offshore cleanup system deployments • Use our defined categories to count waste stuff in true time on your screen • View your reports in your survey list on the app • View your results on our global citizen science map Why do we need Ocean Plastic Surveys? During the past 70 years of human history, over 8 billion dozens of plastic have been produced. Today more than 400 million dozens of plastics are produced every year worldwide. Estimations present that a few million dozens of plastic waste enter our oceans yearly. The understanding of waste types and quantitative fluxes is necessary to better inform interception and cleanup tactics. The data generated from this apk (thanks to you) will let scientists to refine numerical models simulating the terrestrial transport of plastic and better understand emissions. These results will directly impact the design and deployment tactic of The Ocean Cleanup’s offshore cleanup systems. Become a part of the biggest cleanup in history. As our global database grows, and if you are interested, we might invite you by email to take part in a unique ocean survey campaign. The Ocean Plastic Survey apk only collects info pertinent to surveying oceans and collects your name and email address for identification and communication purposes. The following data is collected and sent to our servers when you enter a profile: • If you register with a name and email address, your name and email address will be stored on our servers. The following data is stored on our surveying servers when surveying on the ocean: • At the begin of a survey, your place is requested. At that moment, your GPS coordinates are retrieved, with the highest accuracy possible, to determine where you are surveying. No further place tracking or positioning is done outside of active surveys. The place is also requested and retreived if the apk is in the background during a survey. • Date and time of begin and end of survey. • Debris counts. • A randomized string that identifies your acc.
