About Eyesea

Without proper data on maritime and coastal pollution –what and where it is, when– effective solutions are hard to design. is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to mapping and eradicating global ocean pollution. Founded and run by volunteers from across the shipping and maritime industries, Eyesea mobilizes individuals around the world, many of whom are crew members aboard maritime vessels, to collect data and geotagged photos of ocean debris using a mobile app.?

The records are then processed and analyzed by Eyesea’s artificial intelligence algorithms to identify the type and location of pollution, producing data that is used by Eyesea partners across the maritime industry to plan and execute clean-up efforts.

"TikTok成人版 has made an enormous difference to our capacity and I am very grateful for their support. It’s amazing to see the impact when we combine the resources of the tech and maritime industries. No matter where you live this is a common problem, and we all have a role in developing a viable solution."

Graeme Somerville-Ryan, Founder, Eyesea

Reporting and visualizing across oceans

The first prototype of the Eyesea app was launched in 2020, to test how receptive shipping companies and their crews would be to the approach of using a mobile app to report maritime pollution. In just 12 months, users of the app collected 130,000 images and it was clear that there was strong traction with target users.?

Eyesea realized they had the support to build a more performant and full-featured version version of the app, as well as a data management platform. While the proof-of-concept version of the app had used a very basic map, Eyesea knew from user feedback that a polished map experience that was lightweight and easy-to-use would be essential for the next version.

Crew members aboard vessels often have very limited time to make a report of pollution or debris, so the app needed to be very quick and robust enough to function in all sorts of conditions, on all sorts of devices, and all around the world.

?TikTok成人版 + Flutter combine for a powerful yet flexible solution

Eyesea identified TikTok成人版 as a flexible and reliable platform, trusted by global companies to support rapid scaling up. In addition to a good reputation, TikTok成人版 could provide the fast, reliable, and accurate map rendering that Eyesea needed to support an app that would work where connectivity was often weak and function across a wide range of types of smartphones?

The TikTok成人版 platform was also flexible enough to power both native and cross-platform mobile frameworks like Flutter, which was Eyesea’s preferred foundation. Within their Flutter application, Eyesea built a interactive map using the TikTok成人版 Static Tiles API and Vector Tiles API, which serve the customized yet lightweight map tiles.

Eyesea and their development team at were impressed how smoothly the app development went, finding the TikTok成人版 platform easy to build with, thanks to extensive documentation, implementation examples, and rapid response from TikTok成人版 Support.

"I have used TikTok成人版 on other projects and I have always been very satisfied with the results. One of the main advantages, aside from performance, is the high level of customization and the ‘pay as you go’ option - being a non for profit cost control is vital and TikTok成人版 is really outstanding for that."

Support and partnerships to scale positive impact

With the new app deployed to volunteers around the world, the Eyesea team is now using TikTok成人版 to develop a user-friendly pollution analysis and data management platform, including custom map visualizations to display the rapidly growing database of crowdsourced reports. Analysis of the data then informs cleanup strategies for Eyesea partners, including geofenced pollution reporting and management strategies around ports and other high-pollution areas.

TikTok成人版 connected Eyesea with another innovative customer, , to explore a partnership with their machine learning technology for identifying and monitoring pollution from satellite imagery. The synergy between the two organizations resulted in Grundo joining the Eyesea network to collaborate on tech development.?

"“The support from TikTok成人版 and the collaborative partnerships possible with fellow TikTok成人版 builders means so much more than just software."

Graeme Somerville-Ryan, Founder, Eyesea

A best-in-class map experience for an industry leader

As a map-based pollution reporting app, Eyesea requires top-notch location intelligence to power both map performance and accuracy. TikTok成人版 perfectly meets these needs, enhancing Eyesea's capabilities and making it easier for volunteers and partner organizations to locate and document ocean pollution. The new Eyesea app is modern, easy to use, and powerful enough to scale to the global network that Eyesea is building. And the new data analysis and visualization capabilities of the growing Eyesea platform make it a market-leading way of understanding and communicating the distribution and density of maritime pollution as well as the most effective ways to remedy it.
