Reef Scorecard App
A user-friendly mobile app that gamifies reef tourism. Divers and tourists earn points for visiting monitored reefs, reporting conditions (like algae blooms or invasive species), and adhering to sustainable diving practices. Points can be redeemed for discounts at eco-conscious businesses, promoting responsible tourism and data collection on reef health. The app aims to shift tourist dollars to better managed reefs.
