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

The app looks nice, but unfortunately keeps on crashing when I try to record an egg case find. Hopefully, you can get this fixed soon, so we can keep on collecting data :)
★★★★★
It's a good app. I use it to identify and upload shark egg case finds on the beach. It helps you identify them with a few questions and some images to look though. And it rewards you with some in-app collectible cards which are fun. Uploading the egg case finds in aid of helping them to understand sharks better, so it's for a good cause.
★★★★★
It's a bit clunky to use, but you can get there in the end with IDing egg cases.
★★☆☆☆
The app is frustratingly difficult to navigate... I really want my kids to engage with adding finds etc., but even showing them the site was difficult. It's a real shame, as it could be fantastic....please improve it!!👍
