OpenLitterMap vs My Watershed Usage & Stats
OpenLitterMap is an open source, interactive, and accessible database of the world's litter and plastic pollution.
Just take a photo and tag it with our app.
Our global map tells a very important story about litter as litter has become normal and invisible for many.
You can extend our pre-defined list of tags with your own custom tags. Just type in whatever you want and press enter!
Keep the global map open to see live updates. If you click on a notification, you will be zoomed to the data that was just recorded. Copy the URL to get a link that can send anyone to any photo.
Our code & data is open and accessible. Anyone can download our data for free, and use it for any purpose. This is necessary to bring transparency and democracy to science on pollution.
As you tag litter, you help your country compete at the #LitterWorldCup to see who can collect the most data.
By default, all users are anonymous. However, you can make your name or username appear on the map or leaderboards and compete for a position. You can also add your social media links which will appear on each upload. Like getting upvoted, the more data you upload means the more visibility you will get!

The mission of the Lefthand Watershed Center is to assess, protect, and restore the quality of our watershed and to serve as a hub for watershed issues by fostering stakeholder collaboration. The My Watershed app will help us reach our four primary goals: (1) Understand the State of the Watershed, (2) Facilitate Stakeholder Cooperation, (3) Promote a Stewardship Ethic, and (4) Plan and Implement Projects. The My Watershed app allows us to create projects on CitSci.org, create datasheets/protocols, and then implement these data collection protocols for any project we create by having volunteer community scientists help us collect the data we need to reach our vision. The app syncs with CitSci.org and send data to this citizen science platform.
The target audience of this app are scientists and researchers. The users of this app are required to create a login at CitSci.org (free), join a project, and download data sheets to the app on this device. Once an observation is collected, it is uploaded to the CitSci.org website. The data from each observation can be used by the tools on the website (CitSci.org) to generate maps and reports to decision makers about resource management.
This app is intended for any scientist or researcher in the world to capture and help coordinate information. However, the app's primary distribution is the United States.
