Description
Debris Tracker is an open data citizen science movement, powered by Morgan Stanley. Join us in creating a bigger picture of the plastic pollution crisis by using the app to report litter wherever you find it, from our oceans to your backyard. Every day, dedicated educational, non-profit, and scientific organizations and passionate citizen scientists from all around the world use the Debris Tracker app to record GPS data on inland and marine debris. To date, Debris Tracker users have contributed 2 million items to our open-data platform, hosted at the University of Georgia and accessible to researchers and curious citizens everywhere. Together we can create a more comprehensive understanding of marine debris and plastic pollution by collecting and sharing data, generating scientific findings, informing policy, and inspiring upstream solutions.
See our website for more information on how to get started or to download data: http://www.marinedebris.engr.uga.edu/. Debris Tracker is a joint effort of the NOAA Marine Debris Program and the Southeast Atlantic Marine Debris Initiative (SEA-MDI) out of the University of Georgia College of Engineering. Continued use of GPS in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Love it ! Big advocate of the app, its functionality and its creator! Jenna is easy to work with, and this app has the potential to be used for cleanup groups to compile their data! Saves so much time and money! Spreading it on the West Coast! Contact her directly to help with edits and she's on it, or she can tell you if it cannot be done ;)
★★☆☆☆
Please allow app to be moved to sd card. Looks like a good idea but need to be able to store app on sd card. Once you fix that I will reinstall and give more stars.
★★☆☆☆
I'm probably using the app in the wrong way i.e. I don't live on the coast and look for debris in the ocean or waterways etc. But I use it when I take my nightly walk and pick up trash and debris from my neighborhood. But, your app tends to mess up quite often and can't find a GPS signal (at least that's what it says), and the little wheel keeps spinning, and it loses the distance that I've walked, which is very frustrating.
★★☆☆☆
Who the hell designed this app ? Firstly it looks totally outdated and the instructions on using it are ABSENT ?! It just doesn't accept the fact that I put location ON, and it keeps sayng my GPS is OFF. I don't understand why there's a need for a picture for every question and the questions are confusing ? Please do an update or consult with some normal people who are not in your bubble and see how this app is perceived by normal users.
