Benthos coastal assistant
The fishing culture, conservation practice and coastal rules of Arraial do Cabo, on WhatsApp.
Built by marine scientists from the coast.
We build systems communities use to record local knowledge and bring it into conservation, funding applications and decisions about their territory.
Much conservation data is made far from the coast it describes. We build from the coast, so local knowledge stays useful to the communities it belongs to.
We work with coastal communities, conservation NGOs, research institutes and funders who respect community control over local knowledge.
