Sharing is caring: which are your top apps for underwater trophy shots?

If you also enjoy a growing selection of underwater trophy shots, you can become a true blue heart and upload your touchstone pictures to your favourite biodiversity-logging app. I have listed a few that I am familiar with, such as iNaturalist, ObsIdentify, and Redmap. ReefLifeSurvey I still need to check out. What is your fav app? I know sometimes the real trophy hunters are scared to burn the location when they caught something special. But, the geo-tag is a critical piece of information to link a species’ occurrence to its habitat. Luckily, some apps do not ask for the exact spot and allow for defining a radius around it. That way the secret spot is still secret, but you can make your special observation count and contribute to a knowledge base needed to halt the dwindling number of species extinctions. No need to chain yourself to airport gates and still make your pic count.
