Use case
Biodiversity Credits
Prepare credit readiness evidence with standardized protocols, traceable metadata, and auditable exports.
Problem
Credit developers and project teams need to show how habitat condition changes across sites and seasons. MariMap keeps survey data, media, and QA/QC in one place so reviewers can follow the full trail.
Operational needs
- Standardized indicators aligned to habitat protocols
- Clear provenance for who collected data and where
- QA/QC review before indicators are shared
- Exports for verifiers, registries, and investors
Approach
A realistic credit readiness workflow today.
- Define indicators, sites, and survey protocols
- Collect field data offline in MariField
- Sync, review, and lock datasets for reporting
- Export evidence packs for third-party review
Outcome
Outputs teams can share today.
- Indicator tables with metadata and methods
- Audit-ready PDF or HTML reports
- Data exports (CSV/GeoJSON) with provenance
- Shareable links for reviewers

Getting Started with MariMap
MariMap is a marine conservation platform that connects projects, sites, surveys, and reporting in one workspace. Start by selecting your organization, creating a project, and adding a site boundary so the map, surveys, and analytics all point to real places. From there you can plan surveys, collect field observations, and review environmental context in Analytics. This guide walks through the first steps in the marine monitoring software so your team can work consistently from day one.
Planning Surveys and Data Collection
Survey planning in MariMap keeps marine data collection consistent across teams and sites. Use survey plans to define protocols, sampling geometry, and recurrence schedules before field work starts. Then create surveys from those plans so your data grids, methods, and units are ready in advance. This guide walks through the planning workflow used in MariMap today.
Coral Reef Monitoring in MariMap
MariMap supports coral reef monitoring with benthic transects, fish transects, and benthic image surveys. These coral survey methods help teams track reef condition, coral cover, and fish community trends over time. This guide explains how to select the right protocol, configure method parameters, and enter coral reef monitoring data in MariMap. It also shows how to connect surveys with heat stress context from satellite data.
Seagrass Monitoring in MariMap
MariMap supports seagrass monitoring using benthic transects, fish transects, and benthic image surveys configured for seagrass sites. These seagrass survey methods help teams track seagrass cover, habitat composition, and associated fauna over time. This guide shows how to set up seagrass monitoring plans, enter data, and keep monitoring consistent across seasons.
