The ongoing death of migrants at seas is one of the worst human crises of our time. Search and rescue operations are being carried out to reduce the loss of life, but that’s not enough when compared to the vastness of the sea.
That is why Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS) developed this app to crowd source the search of seas for migrants by giving access to the satellite image of the routes they take.
How it works
The app divides the satellite image of the sea into millions of small plots and assigns each user a unique plot of the sea to monitor.
When you spot a possible migrant ship, you can tag and report it. This information will be processed by the relevant authorities and passed to MOAS ships to carrying out search and rescue operations.
