Microplastics pollute everywhere, but researchers can't be everywhere.
RAFOO turns your phone into a sampling tool. Photograph nature, and a specialised AI model tells you whether microplastics are present and estimates how many.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Capture - point your camera at a patch of nature and take a photo.
Your location can be attached automatically to place the sample on the map.

2. Get instant feedback - the AI analyzes your photo and reports whether
microplastics were detected, with an estimated count.

3. Mark and tag - optionally draw around visible plastic particles on your
photo and add tags such as environment type or waste type to enrich the data.

4. Contribute - every photo is reviewed by our team before it
helps train the next generation of the detection model.

BUILT TO WORK IN NATURE

- Works offline: photos are queued on your phone and upload automatically
when you regain connectivity.
- No GPS signal? Capture anyway - the photo uploads without location data.
- Free to use, no ads, no in-app purchases.

PRIVACY FIRST

- Your photos are used for model development and nothing else. Each image
is reviewed by a human before it enters the training data.
- Location is optional and used only to analyze pollution.
- You can delete your account at any time; your images are anonymized.
- Read our privacy policy: https://api.raceforoceanstechnology.com/privacy

RAFOO is built by Race for Oceans Technology, combining crowdsourced beach photos with AI to measure microplastic pollution at a scale no team could cover alone.
