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.
random dated shark sightings
why are the updates in random date order? we don’t need to know where a shark was sighted two weeks ago then yesterday then three days ago . The sighting updates are all over the place and you need to scroll through to find the most recent . I would have though the most obvious order would be most recent first and then archive anything after a week- typical clunky government app

It’s so great to keep us all updated and safe
Having warnings at real times is amazing thank you for keeping us safe and in the loop
On iPhone, can’t select a town
I was looking for shark sightings in New Haven, Harbor, and Cape Cod however, when I fill in the search, nothing happens. Also, when I tap on the map, nothing happens.
No chronological order
Alerts and warnings aren’t listed in date order so a couple of months of listings can be Higglety Pigglety!
five stars
I love this app , even though it’s scary knowing how many sharks are around it’s good to know they are around .
Thank you
Great service thank you
More info Required
Upon being triggered can the app please also state
- ID the shark number,
- when tagged,
- size (m) when tagged.
This assists the public in determining risk which is the point of the app, fir example - are alerts one shark staying in an area ir passing through or several sharks?
Please update or advise why this can’t be done given you have this information already.

Shark incidents
Why on earth have I just received notification of a shark incident that happened on 23 Jan. Today is the 26th. Not the first time this has happened.

I am part of a regular morning swim group of open water swimmers at Cowaramup Bay. I look at updates on Shark Smart every morning before I head to the beach. It certainly impacts on if and where I swim. Really useful.
Fear
It is so comforting to know that ‘Shark Smart’ keeps us updated on sightings and attacks. Living in Dunsborough we often have sharks hanging around the two jetties. Between the helicopter and the ‘Ap’ it makes us feel safer. Thank you👏👏👏👏👏
Tagged sharks
More info on tagged sharks please.
When, where, size when tagged.
That would be really helpful thanks

Poor updates.
The app hasn’t updated in over a week. Which doesn’t make it relevant to what is going on in the water. Can not rely on it for to feel safe in the water.

As a old deep sea fisherman I’ve always been curious about Sharks, seen hundreds of big and small and learnt that they are smarter than a lot of creatures. This App is great but can lag behind real time at times it’s a great way to work out if you want to go swimming in your area and take the chances with Untagged.
I think the tagged sharks that register here should have more information supplied such as approx age, weight, type, size, size when tagged and location were tagged and date tagged and last location scanned and how often scanned.
People are fascinated with Sharks.
