Happy #WorldHydrographyDay !! 🌊 In honor of the day, we’d like to highlight our #crowdsourced #bathymetry (#CSB) program, Crowd the Bay.   “There are a staggering number of mariners 🚤 out in Tampa Bay’s local waters. Many of these vessels have a sounder, regularly collecting depth measurements. These data have community and scientific significance, yet they disappear after they’re collected,” says Steve Murawski, director of COMIT and research professor at USF College of Marine Science.     Crowd the Bay has been working diligently to refine protocols and hone best practices for the program alongside our initial group of participants. That list continues to grow slowly, but steadily, and includes U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Saint Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, Chance Maritime Technologies, Pinellas County Government Environmental Management, Eckerd College, Ballyhoo Media. We’re excited to now have data regularly coming in so we can work with our stakeholders and the NOAA Coast Survey to see how they can best support different needs. Our website has also recently been updated to include new resources, such as an Equipment Check for prospective participants, an updated web map showing some of the CSB data collected in #TampaBay, and our Offset Measurement AR Tool. Read more in a ✨ brand-new ✨ article released yesterday about Crowd the Bay that also features our most prolific contributor thus far, Eckerd College Search and Rescue (EC-SAR).     https://lnkd.in/evuGArKe
