Let's learn about the Drow's project
DROW is a revolutionary platform that harnesses the power of data to transform our understanding of the oceans. Here's how DROW utilizes various information sources and advanced technologies to offer an immersive and educational experience for its users:
DROW integrates data from several prestigious sources to provide a comprehensive database on marine life. Here are some of the main sources:
- WRiMS (World Register of Introduced Marine Species): A complete database on introduced marine species, crucial for understanding the impacts of invasive species.
- GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility): A global resource compiling biodiversity data from numerous institutions.
- OBIS (Ocean Biogeographic Information System): A key source for global marine species distribution data.
- iNaturalist: A community platform where citizen scientists share biodiversity observations, enriching DROW’s database.
These sources allow DROW to provide accurate and up-to-date information on the distribution and status of marine species, accessible directly on the platform’s interactive map.
DROW offers advanced features for managing and analyzing dive logs, turning each dive into a learning opportunity and a contribution to science.
You can upload photos from your dives to DROW, where they will be analyzed by artificial intelligence. This technology can identify, count, and measure the species in your images, providing valuable data for your research and the scientific community.
DROW also allows for in-depth analysis of your dives. You can track metrics such as depth, duration, and location of your dives, as well as environmental conditions. These data are visualized on interactive dashboards, offering an overview of your diving habits and discoveries.
To make organizing and searching your dive logs easier, DROW offers a tagging system. You can add tags to each entry, enabling quick searches and customized filters. Whether you’re looking for all your dives in a specific region or those where you encountered a particular species, tags make navigation simple and intuitive.
DROW is not just a tool for divers and biologists; it’s a community dedicated to the discovery and protection of the oceans. By combining data from prestigious sources with advanced analytical tools and AI features, DROW turns every dive into an educational and scientific adventure.

DROW is proud to contribute its valuable data to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). By integrating DROW's extensive marine life observations and research findings into the GBIF API, we help enhance the global understanding of biodiversity. This collaboration ensures that data collected by our community of divers, biologists, and marine enthusiasts are accessible to scientists and researchers worldwide. Through this partnership, DROW not only aids in global biodiversity monitoring but also fosters a broader impact on marine conservation efforts. By sharing our data with GBIF, we contribute to a comprehensive, global repository that supports research, informs policy, and promotes the sustainable management of marine ecosystems.
