Power your most ambitious ecotourism initiative.
eOceans transforms your observations into real-time insights, enabling seamless collaboration with scientists, decision-makers, and partners. Optimize your trips to engage customers fully, and take immediate, impactful action to protect your sites and species when it matters most.
In the fast-paced world of ecotourism, managing data from trips, species sightings, and environmental conditions—and sharing these stories with the public—is key to success. Many operators collect data on paper but struggle to analyze it in time to make informed decisions quickly.
They dream of an app to streamline it all.
eOceans is that app.
The app you’ve been dreaming of
Designed by PhD scientists, eOceans removes the barriers that slow you down.
Instead of waiting for a scientist to analyse your data, or trying to do it yourself—or even trying to build your own app—let eOceans handle it in real-time, so you can focus on exploring, engaging, and pleasing your guests.
Engage and collaborate effortlessly—connect with customers, potential customers, partners, NGOs, stakeholders, and decision-makers directly in the app to share insights, drive action, and amplify your operations.
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.
Adding data to all your projects is effortless.
eOceans automatically shares based on the location, sampling methodology, and variables added.
What jobs can the eOceans app do for you?
To optimize trips and influence policy, you need 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. You can’t hire a data scientist like the big companies can. Let eOceans handle the heavy lifting—so you can focus on the experience.
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.
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.
