NASA NeMO-Net 4+

Awesome app! It’s very straightforward to use for anybody, and you get to learn about marine coral and more by using; and simultaneously helping NASA to better map and evaluate the health of our Coral reefs. You get to paint color coding overlays onto detailed 3D coral plots of real coral, which is satisfying to do by itself, but also feels really good because the 3D data you are analyzing is real mapped coral and your submissions get sent to a real super computer which helps compile data and improve its AI through public inputs. All in all: a great resource to have fun and learn while literally helping improve data to help save the planet!

-Thanks to the team at NASA working on saving our reefs, and the people who made this app!
(I end up using this app for periods of 30 minutes or more because it’s so satisfying and borderline addictive to submit your work because you know it has a real impact. For most people, it’s seemly small actions that will contribute large scale globally: in the case of saving our reefs, which are being harmed by human impacts, everything little change or effort you make, contributes to a larger effort. SO PLAY YOUR PART AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE by just downloading this app!

I love everything about this application. It’s a game where you can learn, enjoy and help save the planet even if it’s in a small proportion. The application does a great job at making you feeling significant in the journey to environmental appreciation and salvation. As a biologist, I am learning even more about coral reefs and hopefully with the data sent we can make even bigger discoveries! I even feel honored to be a part of such an important study.

So I have been using this app for months. Not to be rude but this is a citizen science app not a coloring page for your toddler! If you cannot read or just don’t want to, please don’t think this app is for you! I keep reviewing transects for Tumon Bay. I don’t know why but I feel like a lot of the pictures are getting misidentified by users. There are some new classifications used in the Tumon Bay area that I feel people are misunderstanding. I had to go online to figure out what a fire coral looks like and I’m not sure everyone knows the difference between beach sand and underwater sand. when there’s an anthropogenic object I think that may need defined. It would be nice if NASA uploaded definitions for the new classifications specific to Tumon Bay. That way everyone using the app is on the same page!
