The Secchi Disk citizen science study is now in it's 7th year and I wanted to bring you an update to show how the study is progressing through sailors taking part.
The best way is by the project map and this image, taken today, clearly shows the global coverage the study is achieving.

While you cannot zoom into the map I have attached you will see that the intensity of data (as well as the coverage) is quite great in places if you visit the data map on the study's website.
You can read the study's first paper, with seafarers as the first authors, in the journal PLOS ONE
The other purpose of this e-mail is to ask for your continuing help to promote the study to more sailors that might like to get involved in science as they sail, whether that is just by word of mouth, a poster on a club notice board, or in literature, such as in harbour and marina guides. Free to use resources are available from the Press Releases, Images and Videos tab on the Secchi Disk study's website (direct link to folder and posters can be obtained from this link).
Thank you to everyone taking part.
