I absolutely love this App, it’s a great place to log all the different species of marine life and keep track of what you have seen and also a Wishlist to track what you would love to see in the future. There’s information on each fish you find so it’s a great place to learn more too! It’s definitely inspiring me to want to go and get in the sea for a look to see what else I can add 🥰
