The Shark Trust 1.9.1

The Shark Trust app serves as an integrated platform for five citizen science initiatives, focusing on the documentation of shark species and their egg cases globally. This app encourages users to engage actively in marine conservation by exploring beaches for egg cases or venturing out to sea for shark sightings, with built-in identification tools to aid in reporting findings.

Key features of the app include:

• Consolidated access to five citizen science shark reporting projects: The Great Eggcase Hunt, Shark Sightings Database, Basking Shark Project, Angling Project, and Shark & Ray Entanglement Network.
• A community interface that allows users to view shark and egg case reports in their vicinity.
• Collectible shark cards, which can be unlocked by contributing findings across various citizen science projects.
• A step-by-step, location-based identification tool tailored for egg cases found in Northwest and Southwest Europe and Australia, with plans for additional regions.
• A user profile and logbook feature to monitor and manage submitted findings through the app.

Founded in 1997, the Shark Trust is a registered charity in the UK committed to ensuring the survival of sharks through impactful strategies that encompass scientific research, education, advocacy, and community action. The app not only integrates established projects like shark sightings and basking sharks but also incorporates more recent initiatives under the Shark Trust umbrella.

• Significantly improved functionality for a better user experience.
• Addition of four new citizen science shark projects alongside the Great Eggcase Hunt.
