Polluting Wrecks

There are thousands of potentially polluting wrecks (PPW) that are threatening the safety of our marine environment and the safety of those that use it. This data gathering project will create a framework for a potentially polluting wrecks (PPW) citizen science monitoring scheme to make both the environment and water-users safer.

 

CALLING ALL MARINE USERS TO SAVE THEIR OCEANS
Boat operators and beach walkers, divers and deckhands, hydrologists and harbour masters, swimmers and sailors
TAKE PART AS CITIZEN SCIENTISTS

 


 

THE PROBLEM

 

Thousands of polluting wrecks are threatening our marine environment and the safety of those that use our oceans. This worldwide problem exceeds the capacity of current infrastructures.

 

THE SOLUTION

 

This project will raise awareness of the global problem and create a polluting wrecks citizen science reporting system to crowd source data to inform the authorities that can clean up the wrecks to make both the environment and water-users safer.
