Hands-on marine research: The colour of the ocean

Have you ever noticed what colour water is?

Scientists have asked themselves the same question. They measure the colour of the sea on research ships. You too can contribute to this research and help the researchers. It's easy to do with your smartphone. With the Eye on Water app, you too can analyse bodies of water from dry land and make a contribution.
