SeaScribe app for iPhone and iPad

SeaScribe is a data collection tool for offshore wildlife surveyors that is specifically designed to make surveying efficient and to standardize data entry and output.

SeaScribe provides an easy to use, intuitive application for the collection of wildlife survey data including georeferenced effort and observation data. SeaScribe captures environmental conditions and behavioral information alongside details of each geo-referenced wildlife observation using internal or external GPS function.

It features efficient data entry screens with core data fields and the ability to create and use customized data fields.
