Getting Started

🚀 Getting Started

This quick guide takes you from zero to your first site and survey.

Prerequisites

  • An email address you can verify
  • An organisation to join, or permission to create one
  • Basic site geometry (you can draw it if you don’t have GeoJSON yet)

1) Sign Up & Log In

  1. Open MariMap and create an account.
  2. Verify your email if prompted, then sign in.

2) Create or Join an Organisation

  • If your team already exists, ask an admin to invite you.
  • Otherwise, create an organisation and set its name, type, and country.

Roles: Admin can manage members and settings. Editor can create/edit content. Viewer has read‑only access.

3) Create a Project

Projects group your sites, surveys, and reports.

  1. Go to Projects → Create Project.
  2. Add a name, description, and optional dates.
  3. Save.

4) Create a Site

  1. Open your project → Sites → Create Site.
  2. Enter site basics (name, description, type).
  3. Define the geometry: draw a polygon on the map or import GeoJSON.
  4. Save.

Tip: Keep plot boundaries consistent so trends make sense over time.

5) Create a Survey

  1. Open Surveys → Create Survey.
  2. Choose the site, survey type (e.g., Mangrove Growth), and date.
  3. Enter measurements or upload a file if your workflow supports imports.
  4. Save.

6) Generate a Report

  1. Go to Reports → Create Report.
  2. Select the projects/sites and a date range.
  3. Generate the report and download the PDF once it’s ready.
