Everything your research team needs

From the first dive to the final publication, Tidepool supports every stage of your marine research pipeline.

🤿

Dive Survey Logger

Record transect data, species counts, GPS waypoints, depth, temperature, and salinity from the field — online or offline. Sync when you surface.

📸

Photo-ID Catalog

AI-assisted matching for cetacean dorsal fins, shark scarring, and manta ray ventral patterns. Build population catalogs instantly from survey images.

🪸

Coral Health Monitor

Track bleaching events, disease prevalence, and recovery across quadrat grids with standardized health indices and trend visualizations.

🗺️

Spatial Mapping

Visualize survey sites, species distribution heatmaps, and habitat type overlays on interactive 3D bathymetric charts.

🔗

Dataset Sharing

Share standardized Darwin Core-compliant datasets with collaborating institutions, GBIF, OBIS, and peer-review publication pipelines.

📊

Analytics Dashboard

Real-time survey progress, species diversity indices (Shannon, Simpson), population trend models, and exportable publication-ready charts.

From field notebook to published dataset

Three steps to transform raw field observations into structured, citable research data.

1

Record in the field

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.

2

Process & validate

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.

3

Share & publish

Export Darwin Core-compliant datasets to GBIF, OBIS, or directly into peer-review supplementary materials. Control access per collaborator, per institution, per project.

Simple, transparent pricing

Trusted by marine scientists everywhere

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."

SK
Dr. Sarah Kimura
Marine Mammal Researcher, NOAA
★★★★★

"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."

MR
Dr. Marcus Reyes
Field Director, Coral Triangle Initiative
★★★★★

"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."
