Tidepool empowers marine biologists and conservation teams with powerful tools for dive survey logging, species photo-ID management, coral health monitoring, and collaborative dataset publishing — all in one seamless platform.
From the first dive to the final publication, Tidepool supports every stage of your marine research pipeline.
Record transect data, species counts, GPS waypoints, depth, temperature, and salinity from the field — online or offline. Sync when you surface.
AI-assisted matching for cetacean dorsal fins, shark scarring, and manta ray ventral patterns. Build population catalogs instantly from survey images.
Track bleaching events, disease prevalence, and recovery across quadrat grids with standardized health indices and trend visualizations.
Visualize survey sites, species distribution heatmaps, and habitat type overlays on interactive 3D bathymetric charts.
Share standardized Darwin Core-compliant datasets with collaborating institutions, GBIF, OBIS, and peer-review publication pipelines.
Real-time survey progress, species diversity indices (Shannon, Simpson), population trend models, and exportable publication-ready charts.
Three steps to transform raw field observations into structured, citable research data.
Log dive survey data on any device — tablet, phone, or ruggedized laptop. Offline-first architecture means zero dependency on connectivity. GPS, depth, temperature, and salinity lock automatically from paired instruments.
Upload survey images for AI-powered photo-ID matching. Data validation flags anomalies — misspelled taxa, out-of-range measurements, duplicated transects. Build clean datasets without spreadsheet wrangling.
Export Darwin Core-compliant datasets to GBIF, OBIS, or directly into peer-review supplementary materials. Control access per collaborator, per institution, per project.
Choose the plan that fits your research program. All plans include unlimited survey records.
For small field stations and independent researchers
For university labs and mid-sized conservation programs
For large research organizations and government agencies
Teams across six continents use Tidepool to power their marine conservation and research programs.
"Tidepool has completely revolutionized how we manage our cetacean photo-ID catalog. What used to take weeks of manual matching now happens in hours. An absolute game-changer for our humpback research."
"The offline-first design is a lifesaver. We do fieldwork on remote atolls with zero connectivity. Tidepool works flawlessly and syncs everything when we get back to the station. Best tool in our workflow."
"We published three papers this year using Tidepool's data export. The Darwin Core compliance saved us countless hours of reformatting. Our collaborators now ask us what platform we use in every meeting."
Join 1,200+ research teams already using Tidepool to manage their field data, species catalogs, and conservation datasets.
