For today’s International Day for Biological Diversity, we’ve illustrated a short and simple guide, showing how you can easily explore and document #biodiversity in your favourite natural spots and support science projects and researchers with your observations.
On the SPOTTERON Citizen Science App Platform, there are many interactive #CitizenScience Apps enabling the reporting of diversity of species and habitats for everyone: https://www.spotteron.net/apps
UN #OceanDecade - a global community working together to safeguard Our Oceans and Seas. #COSEA App and #CoastSnap App, running on the SPOTTERON Platform, are part of this movement and received endorsement by the Ocean Decade community! 🌊 🐬 🪸

Have you already heard about the [pane] #CitizenScience App? The [pane] project - led by the @tuberlin Technical University of Berlin - encourages citizen scientists, who have access to a piece of land or a garden, to explore and find ways to improve the land by comparing how different farming methods may affect the #SoilHealth.

On 8–9 April, @spotteron attended the #TRANSEATION consortium meeting in Barcelona. Researchers from all over Europe came together to present their latest findings within the TRANSEATION project.
As part of the TRANSEATION Consortium Meeting, the team visited Ocean Ecostructures in Barcelona. We got a some good insight into their fascinating work, including robots to monitor the ocean floor.
We would like to sincerely thank all participants for such a positive and productive meeting. 🐬 🐠 🪸
Belatedly, but finally: here comes our blog post about the #ECSA2026 Conference in Oulu, Finland! In it, we share a perspective slightly different from that of researchers. We attended as designers, as technical partners in the field of Citizen Science Apps, and most importantly: as Citizen Scientists.

➡️ The Vademecum is now publicly available on Zenodo platform: https://zenodo.org/records/17536538
Happy #WorldSoilDay 2025!
The #SoilPlastic #CitizenScience App of the MINAGRIS Project, running on the SPOTTERON Platform, enables everyone to document plastic pollution - to help researchers to identify where and which plastic is threatening the soil – and how we can protect it.
