Eyesea are delighted to launch version 2 of our app!!
Thank you Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement and Manx Eyesea Officer David Furnival and their extraordinary tech development team MariApps Marine Solutions have been hard at work to create the new updated release of our V2 Eyesea App.
Eyesea are the proud winners of the Isle of Man Newspapers, Media Isle of Man Awards for Excellence 2022 Environment Initiative of the Year.
German apparel manufacturer GOT BAG has become the first non-shipping company to join the Eyesea initiative. In 2016, GOT BAG started sourcing Ocean Impact Plastic, recycling it, and processing it into backpacks.
The company now works with a network of 2,500 fishermen and people in Indonesia collecting Ocean Impact Plastic. The material is then sorted and recycled into pellets which are then made into backpacks and other bags. For each bag approximately 2-10 pounds of Ocean Impact Plastic are collected – material that is either already threatening or likely to become a threat to the marine environment – depending on the size and design.

“The weirdest thing I’ve found at a beach while cleaning up has been a human skull,” says Lisbon Ferrao, a marketing professional whose passion, and side venture for many years now has been cleaning the beaches of Mumbai city. Today, the group ‘Vasai Beach Cleaners’ is one step toward Mumbaikars having spotless sands once again.

Eyesea is a nonprofit organisation with a mission to map global pollution and maritime hazards. Its mobile application allows individuals to submit geotagged photographs which the organisation plans to use to identify what makes up maritime pollution, its density, and where clean-up efforts can have the greatest impact.
“Collecting proper data on where maritime pollution exists and what it is made of is a crucial first step. Images are an important tool here because they are quick and easy to take, and they provide a lot of information….

We are very pleased to welcome Rommy paz Osorio as Country Head for Eyesea Chile. Rommy, in addition to her work on recycling and coastal clean-ups, has been promoting Eyesea to community groups, schools, and local authorities – resulting in Chile becoming Eyesea’s most successful example of nationwide data collection.
It is hard to describe just how much Rommy has put into Eyesea. Everything we have seen – the hats, banners, promotional material, signage, the events have been her initiative – and at her own cost.
Eyesea’s members owe a great deal to Rommy and the Chile team (Cristina-Nicoleta Caian, Jaime Bastias, and TRUST SEAPATH SHIPPING AGENCY SPA) – they have all supported us when we’ve needed it the most.
The expedition vessel, Ocean Nova, has become the cruise ship to join the Eyesea pollution mapping initiative. Richard Del Valle, President of Adventure Shipping, said “We’re very pleased to be leading the way on an environmental issue that is so important to everyone who sails – both crew and passengers. The case for Eyesea is compelling – very few people have access to the parts of the world we visit, and any data we can collect is of critical importance. With Ocean Nova’s ice class, maneuverability, and highly experienced crew, she is often in waters rarely seen by other ships. We think we can help.” More here.
Dubai-headquartered GAC Group has announced its membership of the maritime pollution reporting and mapping initiative, Eyesea, which uses a smartphone app through which users submit geotagged photographs to report hazards and pollution.
