We intend to make it easier for mariners to protect our ocean by putting best green boating practices at their fingertips through a green boating smartphone app.
This app will utilize smartphone connectivity power to allow instantaneous photo reporting to regulators of spills, pollutions, vessel incidents, and wildlife sightings.
The app will provide maps of local green infrastructure available to mariners, and local marine protected areas.
Our target is to launch this app FREE to all mariners on World Oceans Day 2017.
