What is the Marine Fauna Sightings app?
The app is designed to allow fishers, citizen scientists and all water users to submit their sightings of marine fauna off the WA coast.
Reporting sightings of marine fauna give us a better understanding of where and when different species move along our coast, and their behaviour patterns. This information will greatly assist us in protecting these important species that frequent and migrate through our coastal waters and help us to provide better management information to the fishing industry.
