Shark Count Galápagos is a user-friendly tool that allows divers visiting the Galápagos Islands, the Mexican Pacific, Isla del Coco, and Mainland Ecuador to participate in monitoring and conservation of marine life.
Using Shark Count, divers and snorkelers become “citizen scientists” and make important contributions to our understanding of marine ecosystems by recording the number of sharks, sea turtles, rays and ocean sunfish they encounter during their dives, as well as other notable observations.
The Shark Count app displays reports generated from data contributed by divers and snorkelers at top dive sites across each region. All data collected through Shark Count are shared with relevant National Park Authorities and partners. As more and more data are collected, Shark Count will help decision makers better manage these marine reserves and supported regions, while also providing dive tourists the knowledge of when and where they are likely to observe different species.
Shark Count allows users to enter observations without an internet connection. Data are automatically uploaded after internet connectivity is restored. Registration is not required to observe existing observations or to view the species identification guide.
If you plan to dive or snorkel in one of the supported regions, download Shark Count Galápagos and create your account before your trip so that you can play an active role in the conservation of this remarkable marine environment.
