App Store Description

Marine Fauna Sightings is designed to allow all water users to digitally submit their sightings of whales and other marine fauna of the Western Australian coast. Including dolphins, seals and sea lions, turtles and dugong. Despite their iconic status, there is little known about the movement patterns of many of these species.
Your sightings of marine fauna, combined with sightings from other users, will give us a much better understanding of where and when different species move along our coast, and their behaviour patterns. This information will greatly assist us in protecting these important species that frequent and migrate through our coastal waters, and it will also help the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development to provide better management information to the fishing industry.
Marine Fauna Sightings also provides information to assist you in identifying many marine species you might see. Details on each species are included in the ‘Species’ page or can be seen when creating a sighting report by tapping the right arrow on the species you think you may have seen. There are photos and diagrams to assist you, as well as some interesting information on the species.

Marine Fauna Sightings has been designed to be user-friendly, utilising features of your phone to create an easy way to submit sightings of iconic marine fauna.
