Kelp Watch
“Kelp forests provide myriad benefits to nature and people in oceans around the world. They form the backbone of the ecosystems in which they are found, providing habitat and food for thousands of species. However, kelp forests around the world are facing increased threats due to climate change, overfishing, and harvest. In order to protect and conserve these critical ecosystems in the face of a changing ocean, we must improve the way we map and monitor them. Our researchers have demonstrated that by analyzing satellite imagery of coastal waters with machine learning algorithms, it’s possible to estimate the presence and size of kelp forests, and observe how they change over time. This innovative, cost-effective, and replicable approach is the first step towards monitoring kelp forest dynamics at scale.”
Marine Sand Watch
“This platform monitors large vessels dredging sand, sediment and rock in the marine environment all around the world using the “automatic identification system (AIS)” emitted by dredging vessels, which provides identifying information and their real time position. This platform provides all stakeholders including Member States and the dredging sector with the required data and information to engage in talks with UNEP on how to improve dredging standards around the world. The dredging vessels are identified by the characteristic way they move over time allowing us to quantify activities such as dredging, dumping, transiting and discharging material to shore.”

It honours the fact that there are countless ways to approach and understand sustainable sanitation and water management and offers its users different “Perspectives” from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. The perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management. Of course, you can always also explore the contents through the alpha SSWM catalogue or via search function.
The SSWM Toolbox is for you, no matter if you are a decision maker, an NGO or CSO desk officer, an industrial water user, a farmer, a student or simply a person interested in making water and sanitation more sustainable.”

The Water Footprint Assessment Tool
“The Water Footprint Assessment Tool is a free online web application that provides clear insight into how water is appropriated for human uses and the impacts resulting from those uses.
It assists companies, governments, NGOs, investors, consultants, researchers and others to calculate and map the water footprint, assess its sustainability and identify strategic actions to improve the sustainability, efficiency and equitability of water use.
The Water Footprint Assessment Tool is being developed by the Water Footprint Network, in collaboration with Water Footprint Implementation. Bringing together the internationally recognized Global Water Footprint Standard and the most comprehensive, global water footprint database – WaterStat – as well as user-provided data, the Water Footprint Assessment Tool allows you to complete either a geographic or production assessment and provides results based on sound methods and best available data.”
