Keep the original photo
Upload the image directly from the camera or gallery. Avoid screenshots, heavy editing, filters or repeated exports because they may remove useful time and location metadata.
Reporting guide
Make every report easier to verify.
A useful report needs only a clear photo and location. A few careful choices can make it much more valuable to reviewers and conservation partners.
Choose the actual location
Use GPS when available. Otherwise select the point manually on the map. Choose where the incident or sighting occurred, not where the report is being submitted from.
Select a report category
Choose Marine threat, Species sighting, or Let AI decide. You may add a likely species or threat type, but leaving it unknown is better than guessing.
Add context only when useful
Short notes can explain scale, behaviour, nearby vessels, visible injuries or how long the issue has been present. Do not include unnecessary personal information.
Good evidence
What to photograph
- The affected coral, animal, waste or activity.
- A wider view that helps show scale and surrounding conditions.
- Identifying features without touching, chasing or disturbing wildlife.
- Visible vessel names or registration details only when safe and lawful.
Do not create harm to collect evidence.
Never touch wildlife, stand on coral, enter an unsafe area or confront another person for the sake of a report.
