The Shark Trust

The Shark Trust app is a centralised and connected space for five citizen science recording projects aiming to discover the extent and distribution of sharks and shark egg cases around the world. Get involved by heading to the beach in search of eggcases or out at sea to find and report shark sightings, using the app to identify what you’ve found. Key features of the app include: • Five citizen science shark reporting projects in one app: The Great Eggcase Hunt, Shark Sightings Database, Basking Shark Project, Angling Project, Shark & Ray Entanglement Network. • Community features, allowing you to see shark and Eggcase reports in your area. • Collectible shark cards, unlocked by submitting your finds across the five citizen science projects. • Step-by-step, location-based identification tool for eggcases in Northwest and Southwest Europe and Australia (more regions to come). • User profile and logbook keeps track of your finds submitted via the app Established in 1997, the Shark Trust is the UK registered charity dedicated to safeguarding the future of sharks through positive change. It does this through science, education, influence and action. Shark sightings, Basking Sharks, Angling catches, and the Shark & Ray Entanglement Network are now also part of the newer, larger Shark Trust app. What's New in This Version Brand new updated design Significantly enhanced functionality Four new citizen science shark projects in addition to the established Great Eggcase Hunt project. 50 collectable shark cards, unlockable by submitting shark and eggcase sightings Community features
