Hi everyone, I'm a high school student working on a free citizen science tool for microplastic pollution in underserved regions. The idea is simple: a mobile web app where anyone can log a sighting, upload a photo, and pin it on a live global map, helping build a dataset for areas where this data basically doesn't exist. Would any conservation orgs, environmental clubs, or science teachers be interested in piloting this? Would love honest feedback on whether this is actually useful.

Hi Mykhailo. That citizen science tool seems interesting. But, how do you expect people to detect microplastics (ranging from 1 µm to 5 mm in size)?
