Science snaps

CoastSnap was originally conceived in New South Wales, Australia to monitor beaches using crowd sourcing. Camera mounts placed on the shoreline allow members of the public to take photos and track changes. It’s now been initiated in nine different countries, including France, USA, Spain and England.
