ReefWatch Pro

ReefWatch Pro is a mobile + web app that turns recreational divers, dive centers, and local NGOs into a distributed monitoring network for coral reefs and coastal habitats. Users log dives, upload geo-tagged photos and short videos, and record standardized observations on coral bleaching, disease, invasive species, and key indicator fish. An AI model assists with species identification and basic health scoring from images, dramatically reducing the expertise and time needed to produce usable data. The platform aggregates submissions into structured datasets and maps that marine scientists and conservation agencies can actually plug into their workflows via APIs and exports. Dive centers get a dashboard of their local sites’ health trends and can showcase their conservation impact to customers and sponsors. This is not a feel-good ocean wallpaper app; it’s a data pipeline that turns scattered, low-quality citizen science into something semi-professional and consistent. Monetization comes from paid pro dashboards for NGOs, research groups, and dive operators, plus sponsored conservation campaigns.
