MERMAID is powered by data collected and shared by scientists in the field and underwater, from coral reefs across the world.
MERMAID makes data accessible to coastal communities—empowering people with the knowledge to manage resources sustainably.
MERMAID encourages collaboration and the sharing of data, fueling discoveries and rapid action for reef protection.
Aggregate your observations directly onto the MERMAID platform—quickly, effectively and accurately.

MERMAID is not only transformative for collecting and storing ecological data, but also facilitates the transdisciplinary research that is crucial for confronting the coral reef crisis.
MERMAID works alongside tools like the Allen Coral Atlas to enable scientists to provide information on coral reefs to decision-makers in near real-time, helping us better protect reefs.
We are proud to support this effort to advance data-based marine protection and create more resilient, more sustainable ocean ecosystems.
Coral reef monitoring in the past was a nightmare. MERMAID has literally saved us days of time – allowing us to push on more quickly to use the data to inform our work and decision-making.
With MERMAID, the data are organized and cleaned, so shorter time for analyzing and faster result for decision making. Analyzing Reef Health data cannot be more enjoyable than this!
MERMAID will be a critical tool in supporting ICRI’s efforts to help governments implement and measure progress towards meeting the ambitious goals and targets of the Global Biodiversity Framework.
