Citizen reports
Did you notice green water, dirty sea, mucilage, surface foam or anomalous smells while on the Calabrian coast? Report it through the following form — just a phone photo, your GPS (read automatically) and a one-line description are enough.
How you help us
You will help us analyse the phenomenon and understand it better: the most common coastal blooms in Calabria are 5–7 metre wide green-water strips along the shoreline, and at that scale no free satellite currently available can see them. User photos are our only reliable source for those events, and for each report we cross-check the area against Copernicus data (sea temperature, stratification, wind) and ARPACAL sampling in the previous 48 h, to reconstruct the conditions that caused the event. See the How it works page for the scientific reuse of the collected data.
Privacy and licence
Public data: photo, GPS location, date, phenomenon type and description are published under CC-BY 4.0 license on the map above and through the API.
Private data: name, surname and email (if provided) and IP address (always stored as a hashed value, SHA-256) are never published on the site nor exposed by the API. They are used only to: (1) contact you back if your report is significant and we want to investigate further, (2) prevent abuse/spam through rate-limiting (max 5 reports per hour per IP).
No registration, no account: just photo, GPS and a one-line description.
