Training & guidelines

This tutorial guides you through the EyeOnWater app, showing you how to record and upload water colour observations using your smartphone. These simple measurements contribute to a global citizen science initiative, helping scientists monitor changes in water quality, algal blooms and aquatic ecosystems.

This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to set up and use the MeteoTracker device and app to collect high-quality weather and environmental observations while you're on the move.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to install the InterBox, a low-cost coastal monitoring station developed by CMCC to support marine environmental observations and citizen science initiatives.

Discover practical, affordable tools that enable anyone to contribute to ocean science. This handbook introduces a selection of low-cost devices and citizen science projects, explaining what they measure, why they matter, how to use them, and how the data collected can contribute to European marine data infrastructures.

Make your data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable to maximise its impact for science, society and policy.

To ensure data from a cost-efficient sensor is (re)usable by the global scientific community, it must be transformed from simple observation outputs into a FAIR‑compliant dataset (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

How can marine citizen science data become part of Europe's ocean observing system? This video introduces EMODnet Physics and explains how marine observations collected by citizen scientists, local communities, research projects, and low-cost monitoring devices can be standardized, quality controlled, and integrated into a shared European data infrastructure.

The LandSeaLot Training Academy is a cross-disciplinary learning hub that provides training, resources, and collaborative courses to strengthen skills and knowledge for sustainable land–sea interactions
