Description
This publication explores using a mobile app to collect marine data from recreational SCUBA divers. The app focuses on specific species and collects information about their frequency and abundance, along with user feedback. The pilot study shows promise for regional monitoring programs, offering cost-effective and scalable solutions for tracking marine species and assessing conservation efforts
