FathomVerse ID

FathomVerse ID invites everyone to identify and discover ocean life using image recognition and citizen science. With the app, users can identify animals in their imagery and contribute to a growing image library – FathomNet – that helps scientists catalog and understand marine life.

With FathomVerse ID, you can:

- Identify ocean life that you observe.

- Submit imagery that grows scientific knowledge.

- Track and complete your ocean life list.

- Learn more about the ocean life you observe.

Whether you're a lifelong ocean lover or simply curious about what lives in the depths, FathomVerse ID makes it easy to contribute to meaningful scientific research.

Our image recognition technology is based on millions of observations submitted to FathomNet, FathomVerse, our partners, and various public sources. Your image contributions within the app improves the image recognition technology we use.

FathomVerse ID is part of the FathomNet Program that is based at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), a non-profit organization. FathomVerse ID was made by the FathomNet team with support from MBARI and the National Science Foundation.
