OceanEyes Turns India's Coastlines Into a Living Lab for Marine Life
xCruzo Brief
OceanEyes, a new smartphone app backed by India’s Centre for Marine Living Resources & Ecology (CMLRE) under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, aims to fill major gaps in how marine life across India is documented. Described in Discover Oceans, the platform standardizes high-resolution observations of species across India’s Exclusive Economic Zone of about 2.02 million square kilometers, spanning nearly 11,100 kilometers of coastline. Available on Android and iOS, it turns fishermen, students, divers and beachcombers into biodiversity sensor network nodes using cameras, GPS and real-time telemetry. Developers say early uptake suggests potential expansion beyond Indian waters.
