Features of Rent hav

Updated:4/19/2022

By using the Rent hav features, you will be using an important part of the Rent hav working tool. You can conduct inspections, plan and implement clean-up operations, plot collection points for cleared waste and register observations from the field. You need to create a user account in order to access the features.

Inspections

From need to implementation

The inspection feature allows you to inspect and register the amount of waste in an area. It can be a good idea to carry out an inspection before planning an operation in an area. This will also provide other participants with an overview of the scope of waste in inspected areas.

When adding an inspection, select the area you want to inspect using a polygon in the map. The area will then be shown with a black “binoculars” symbol and the status will change to “Scheduled”. A scheduled inspection can be sent either to a relevant field participant who will conduct the inspection or you can perform the inspection yourself. When the inspection has been completed, the colour of the symbol will change to blue and a white check mark will be shown in the corner of the symbol.

The purpose of inspecting an area is to register the extent of waste, which will form the basis for determining how great the clean-up needs are. The system is configured so that you are expected to enter data every 100 metres. The app will issue a notification to document the clean-up requirements for the distance you have covered. There are three different littering categories, which will be colour-coded in the map for the inspection you are conducting.

Observations

You can register observations using the Rent hav app both during an inspection and independently. This feature allows you to record large objects, wrecked boats and areas where waste accumulates, such as coves exposed to drifts. You can also register dead animals, but only if the observation relates to a dead marine mammal. These are some of the things you can register using the map:

Large objects
Wrecked boats
Accumulation areas
Dead animals (marine mammals only)

The four observation categories have different symbols in the thematic map in Rent hav and an overview of all observations nationwide will be visible in this map.

Operations

Planning clean-up operations and registering findings

You can easily create operations based on completed inspections or as separate events without a prior inspection. When the operation has been created, you can plan it, enter key data and register findings using the Rent hav findings form.

Collection point

Plotting locations for the collection of waste

When the clean-up operation has ended, the operation owner can add a collection point as a pin in the map to more easily agree on and coordinate the collection of cleared waste. These points will be available to all waste management companies in Rent hav, as well as other relevant participants that transport waste by boat or helicopter.
