"How Deep is the Ocean?", great tune. Bill Evans covered it often.
I've thought about crowdsourcing water quality sampling of the (local) St Johns River in NE Florida. Never been sure of sampling (acquisition) requirements nor of who'd take the data. Sailors have a lot of "keel in the game" with respect to better depth data in shallower areas. However, standardizing the data acquisition would require additional hardware/cost.
