Help your community thrive.
You know your observations matter—they reveal the health and needs of the ecosystems your community depends on. But turning them into actionable data is costly and complex. eOceans puts powerful scientific tools in your hands, making real-time analysis accessible and affordable. Turn data into impact and drive your community’s thriving future.
We understand the challenge—you’re trying to gather the data to protect your ecosystem and have the capacity to collect lots of valuable data on the places and species you care about, but you're stuck waiting for scientists, consultants, or governments to analyze the data to make decisions that serve your community's best interests. With eOceans, your wait is over—get real-time insights and take action now.
The app you’ve been dreaming of
Designed by PhD scientists, eOceans eliminates the barriers slowing you down for driving your mission.
Instead of waiting for an expert to wrangle your data, writing and debugging code, and endlessly formatting reports, let eOceans handle it in real-time—so you can focus on driving your mission with data.
Engage and collaborate effortlessly—connect with partners, funders, stakeholders, rightsholders, and decision-makers right in the app to share insights, drive action, and amplify your mission.
Our goals:
-
Streamlining your workflow—from data collection to reporting and dissemination—so you get the results you need fast.
-
Every observation is a piece of the puzzle that describes what’s happening in that location at that time. eOceans stitches them together to tell meaningful stories.
-
By helping organizations, researchers, and others avoid reinventing the wheel—analyzing data for just one question at a time—we enable them to use data for multiple purposes, keeping everyone focused on what truly matters.
-
Unlock the full potential of our planet—by protecting and restoring ecosystems, we can double Earth’s $150 trillion in natural assets, securing a thriving future for all.
-
Scientists, researchers, consultants, Indigenous and local knowledge holders, fishers, divers, explorers, boaters, and more — all in the same app.
What jobs can the eOceans app do for you?
Every project needs clean, interoperable data, analysis, compelling maps, graphs, and other visuals, and reporting. But juggling multiple tools and skillsets drains time, resources, energy, and slows you down. Let eOceans handle the heavy lifting—so you can focus on the big picture.
Data to spreadsheets, visualizations, dissemination
eOceans streamlines parts or all of your workflow—from data collection, quality control, interoperability, sharing, analysis, reports, and dissemination. No more wasted hours on writing and entering data, quality checking, writing and debugging R code, pointing and clicking your way to making outdated maps or reports, or guessing what your impact is. With automated visualizations and flexible sharing options, your work stays relevant, visible, and actionable.
Adding data to all your projects is effortless.
eOceans automatically shares based on the location, sampling methodology, and variables added.
Make the most of your data
Enrich your research with historical context by uploading existing datasets to your project. Need full access? Enable Data Downloads to seamlessly retrieve all your project’s data and metadata—whenever you need it.
Magic Uploads
If you have existing datasets, you can upload them to your project. Once you do, all the data get mapped, graphed, and added to your reports.
Data Downloads
If you add Data Downloads, then you get all your data and metadata exported in a clean, interoperable format for archives, sharing, self-analysis.
Effortless metric tracking
Track your survey effort, metrics of success, biodiversity, social values, threats, and more through space and time.
Built for teamwork
Invite your team—colleagues, students, scientists, rangers, guardians, fishers, observers, field staff, the public, and more—to contribute data to your project. As they do, the results come to life in your dashboard.
They can even help you co-interpret the results in the app.
Launch your project in under an hour
To get started, it’s as simple as filling out a form that defines your study area, variables, analyses, and data sources.
Our mission is your mission.
We help you get there faster, easier, and smarter.
