STC Turtle Tracker vs The Shark Trust

Follow real sea turtles – Koa, Donna Shello, Haven, and dozens more – as they navigate thousands of miles across the world's oceans. Watch their journeys unfold in real time, learn their stories, and become part of the effort to protect them. The Turtle Tracker app connects you directly to sea turtles fitted with satellite transmitters by researchers and conservationists. These aren't simulations – they're real animals, tracked as they migrate between feeding grounds, traverse ocean currents, and return to nest on the beaches where they were born. Get to know each turtle Every turtle has a name, a history, and a journey worth following. See where they were released, how far they've traveled, and what they've been up to. Add your favorites and check in as their tracks grow across the map. Watch migrations unfold Explore detailed route maps showing each turtle's path from release to their latest ping. See the distances they cover – sometimes thousands of miles – and the speeds they maintain across the open ocean. Stay updated The home feed shows you which turtles moved recently, highlights the week's top travelers, and keeps you connected to what's happening in real time.

The Shark Trust app is a centralised and connected space for four 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: • Four citizen science shark reporting projects in one app: the Great Eggcase Hunt, Shark Sightings Database, Basking Shark 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 four 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.
