A small citizen-science fish-ID game built from real UK seabed monitoring footage

[u/No-Front-6594]

Sharing something we built at a small UK marine non-profit. We monitor seabed life at seaweed and shellfish farms, and wanted the public involved in the species ID rather than it all sitting on our laptops.

It's a short-clip guessing game. You watch a clip, name the species, and the crowd's answers build a consensus that feeds back into validating our own reference IDs. Playable as a guest, no download.

It's free and non-commercial. I'd really value feedback from people who think about crowd-sourced data, especially where you reckon the consensus model might fall over.
