Coastal Survey Missions

01 / COASTAL MISSION WORKFLOW

Plan an actual field visit.

A scientific observation needs a documented protocol, not a made-up map marker. All inputs stay in your browser until explicitly transferred or exported.

Field context

Survey site Sampling protocol Habitat Transect meters (optional) Latitude Longitude Location uncertainty (meters)

I can observe safely without touching or disturbing wildlife. I will stop if conditions become dangerous.

Record a real encounter

Use only observed evidence, including uncertain identifications. Entries remain unreviewed local candidates.

Review and export

Export a research candidate, not a verified sighting. Public-safe JSON and CSV omit coordinates unless you opt in to coarsening.

Include coarsened coordinates (0.1° resolution) in public-safe exports with at least 12 km of declared uncertainty. Otherwise omit coordinates.

04 — Longitudinal field registry

Archive completed, actual field visits to establish repeatable monitoring. A visit with zero sightings is a valid record. This history is stored only in this browser and is never counted as platform users or verified observations.

Archive limit: 60 visits per browser. Local browser storage is not a durable research database — export backups regularly. Public exports omit site names, original field remarks and exact coordinates by default. The app does not authenticate fieldwork or identify wildlife with certainty.

Every coastal visit can become measurable evidence.
