SCCF is excited to launch its new app for reporting in-water sightings of healthy sea turtles. It is intended for use by boaters, captains, and others who see sea turtles in the waters around our region.

 

The data collected from this citizen science project will help researchers identify high-use areas and learn more about seasonal habitat shifts.

 

 

 

Once downloaded install the app as usual. The app will need permission to access your phone’s location in order to receive GPS coordinates of your sighting and camera/media to capture and attach pictures. 

To load the survey, follow these steps.

 

(Note if you do not have cellular coverage you can still fill out the survey and save it in the Outbox to be sent at a later time.)

 

Thanks for helping us know where sea turtles are in our surrounding waters!
