Identification self training for observers

Being able to correctly identify species is crucial in observer’s tasks and data quality implies very good knowledge from observers. Identification quality is related to observer’s training and resources provided by technical coordinators.

This document describes a tool developed as a “serious game” for observers to more easily learn species names before to go at sea or when steaming for example.

User can choose area, language, level and species groups.

So far only birds have been included to start with but any phylum of any area can be added including larval stages.
