Description
The Shark Trust app is a connected space for five recording projects aiming to discover the extent and distribution of sharks and shark egg cases around the world.
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.
Shark sightings, Basking Sharks, Angling catches, and the Shark & Ray Entanglement Network are now also part of the newer, larger Shark Trust app.

Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic shark resource
This is a new and improved version of a previous Shark Trust app and loads better. Great resource for information and a hub for all your shark related conservation projects. My son loves to upload egg cases and shark sightings to earn special shark fact cards, building a collection within the app. Great for adults and kids alike. Also any issues shark trust sort out straight away for you - they are really keen and helpful. 10/10.
A great app
We saw this on winter watch and this weekend headed to the beach to find loads of eggs. Easy to use and informative and can collect cards for each submission. Fun for kids.
Prefer old App
I have been spotting mermaids purses for years now and always try and submit my results to the shark trust. I find this latest app to be greatly dumb down and more often than not doesn’t actually allow finds to be submitted! It just whirls away on the upload button, till I get bored! Much of our coastline has poor or nonexistent internet, so not to be even able to see a picture of the different types of cases now is definitely a backwards step! Please improve🙏
