What people are spotting
Animals, birds and the rubbish that threatens them. All of it is useful.
1
Take a photo
Original photos carry the time and GPS location, so you type less. No photo of the animal? A photo of the spot helps too.
2
Tell us what you saw
Pick from the list, or choose “I'm not sure” and describe it. Our reviewers will help identify it.

It joins the record
Once checked, it appears on the map and helps Wild Trust and researchers understand our coast.
Sensitive species, like abalone and nesting turtles, are only ever shown as a broad area.
