: Treat a high tide submission as an interim report. Program an automatic trigger to re-survey the exact coordinates during the subsequent low tide to capture the full scope of the intertidal impact.

is not glamorous. It is wet, smelly, and physically demanding. However, it remains one of the most cost-effective, non-invasive windows into the secret lives of coastal wildlife. By mastering the techniques outlined above—from reading tide charts to sterile handling and digital metadata submission—you contribute to a global dataset that protects ecosystems. Next time you see a pile of scat on a wrack line, recognize it not as waste, but as a data goldmine waiting to be submitted. hightide scat submission work
To submit your scat samples, simply follow these steps:
[Phase 1: Pre-Assessment] ──> [Phase 2: Field Data Collection] ──> [Phase 3: Data Correction] ──> [Phase 4: Submission] 1. Pre-Assessment & Baseline Mapping : Treat a high tide submission as an interim report
To maximize your chances of moving forward in any HighTide submission process, adhere to these best practices:
Ensure the recorded oil classifications line up correctly with the attached field photographs. is not glamorous
: To avoid subjective opinions, reviewers look for standard terms like "heavy" or "light" to describe oiling, which allows for direct comparison between different shoreline segments over time.
