Images are Anonymous. To protect your privacy, no record of uploaded images is kept on your device. We also do not record any information about who sends us images and data. How to use the app: On the front page of the app tap the large camera icon to take a picture of pollution. Then add a tag if possible and submit the image. If a picture is not possible, just drop a tagged pin using the Quick Report function.

Mark pollution as recovered: If you pick up pollution, you can mark your picture as ‘Recovered’ on the tag screen. On the map, pollution recovered appears as a green icon. Unrecovered pollution is a blue icon. Note – SAFTY FIRST – seafarers are unlikely to be able to recover pollution. Upload image from picture library: On the Map/Globe screen, zoom into the location where you want to place a picture of pollution.

Tap the precise location on the map, choose a tag, add the required picture as an attachment, and ‘send’ the image.
