With the aim to improve monitoring capabilities and tutelage of protected areas (e.g. marine parks), two instruments have been designed based on mobile communication technologies that allow to send alert in the presence of marine pollution. The instruments are: a device specifically designed to automatically send a default message to an operations center, and a mobile app which can be installed on all mobile phones (based on WindowsMobile OS) that allows to send a predefined or customized message, possibly supplying an image. The message contains both the coordinates of the sighting point obtained with the GPS, and a warning level. These tools have been utilised by volunteer sailors, identified with agreements (e.g. with the Italian Naval League Section of Pisa), who wish to actively participate in the monitoring of protected areas. The data collected are integrated with several different data (e.g. remotely detected) and especially cross-correlated one another to obtain an automatic validation tool.
