IWDG Reporting App

The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG) reporting app is a tool for reporting sightings and strandings of whales, dolphins and porpoises (cetaceans) in Irish waters.

- Users are able to report sightings of cetaceans or basking sharks to the IWDG where they are validated and saved in a database.
- Users may report sightings from land or boat.
- Users are able to report dead or live cetaceans (strandings) that they find on the coast
- Users may use this app to report the results of a watch carried out to support the Constant Effort Sighting Scheme.
- The app can be used in both offline and online mode.
- It is recommended that users save a draft of their sighting or stranding report while they are gathering information to prevent inadvertent data loss
- If additional images are captured on another device, you can copy the images to your mobile so these images can be attached to your report before submitting. Alternatively, you can email them to sightings@iwdg.ie or strandings@iwdg.ie
- Users reports will be browsable to the public on iwdg.ie with minimal personal information shown (Observer name)
