Awareness

Always a go to for checks before swimming& informative reports from areas of WA.

Fantastic SharkSmart

I’ve been surfing since I was 8, I’m now 68, this app is awesome and just keeps getting better. Keep it up Team SharkSmart and the WA Gost. Super benefit for all who use our beautiful Ocean. Remember “Sharks are our Friends”😊👍🦈

Safety

We feel so much better when we can see where our marine friends are hanging out. 😊

Love the app and use it for all sightings in WA. I use 24 hour notice but some remain in list for more than 12 months which is frustrating.

It’s good

I like SharkSmart because it tells me where sharks are and when they have been detected or seen so I know where I will be safer to go spear fishing, scuba diving or free diving.
