Pacific Whale Foundation’s Whale & Dolphin Tracker app collects scientific data about marine wildlife. The Whale & Dolphin Tracker allows to log GPS location, group dynamics, observed behaviors and other data in real time, which is uploaded instantly to a research database shared to our partner PWF and then shared with us.

Members of the public can participate in research as citizen scientists by using the Whale & Dolphin Tracker to submit marine wildlife sightings from locations worldwide. Whale & Dolphin Tracker allows you to log sightings in real time, create a full GPS track and upload photos from your mobile device. Your contributions are added to a global database that helps researchers track and monitor cetaceans, determine patterns of species distribution and study marine animal interactions with their environment.
