Description

The new OCEARCH Shark Tracker lets you observe the migrations of sharks and other marine animals that have been tagged with state of the art satellite tracking technology.
OCEARCH is on a mission to ensure abundant oceans for future generations and you’re invited to join us through our OCEARCH Shark Tracker!
Sharks are the balance keepers of the ocean and the path to healthy, abundant oceans goes through them. It is critical that we understand the complete life history of these apex predators so that responsible management policies can be enacted to protect them.
OCEARCH facilitates unprecedented research by supporting leading researchers and institutions seeking to attain groundbreaking data on the biology and health of sharks, in conjunction with basic research on shark life history and migration. Data gathered from each animal on the Tracker is being used by scientists and institutions around the world to help protect each species and our oceans as a whole - and now you can track your favorite sharks

Doesn’t work

Great idea, however sadly they clearly don’t invest in it anymore as it doesn’t work, all dates of previous sightings are years old.

Not at all good anymore

This app is not operational. I’ve reloaded it and reloaded it and it displays a message similar to: “cannot connect to the server”
There is no recent tracking history available, so I guess it is no longer updated / used. Shame as this used to be a great app.

Good but....

Guys I love this app don't get me wrong! It's amazing being able to see all the sharks and where they are but....
Before we could see the profiles of the shark and even learn more about them and how we can't!
I really hope youse get this sorted guys because it's the best feature of this app!
Please sort it!! 😬

Great, needs some fine tuning

Katherine is lethal, partying in the gulf by day, back in NY by night. Off the rails. Would be great if on the iPad I could scroll down on their profiles, feel I'm missing critical shark info. Go dorsal fins

Would be brilliant... If the map loaded

I can't seem to get the map to load. I can see the sharks' journeys but it's just on grey boxes which is super disappointing :(

Sharks

I too am here because of the tumblr post but am mildly disappointed because none of the sharks have had any pings since December... Are they all dead or have they all taken out their trackers or do sharks hibernate or something? I need answers and I need to know what Pablo was looking for
Edit: I went back onto the app just after writing this review and they all had recent pings it must have been a glitch never mind

Global Shark Tracker App

This was my favourite app until the upgrade made it unusable as it now crashes every time you try to use it! Fix it please!

Shark tracker needs some work!

The whole app needs a lot of work, but the main problem is the app crashing when you tap on a shark. Once the app is running correctly, this will be quite a fun app I think.

Needs an update

The app is unusable in its current state. Even viewing the tracker causes the app to crash.

Such a cool app 🐟🐬🐳, only way to make it better was if you included all pings instead of just more recent ones

Ocearch kills sharks in this process.

Initially I was impressed by the ability for me to view instantly the whereabouts of several sharks across the world at any point on my phone
However, after a little bit of background reading it is quickly clear that Ocearch has some serious questions to answer about their methods of tagging and more importantly their underlying motives for this activity.
Scientist does not equal Conservationist.
Scientist is not the same as a researcher.
Shark tracking has been going on for over a decade, so little here is new to the world of science...so then, how does this benefit the sharks?
What will happen to the data Ocearch is collecting on the sharks?
There are less invasive measures to retrieve the same data (eg PAT tags), causing less damage to the sharks. How many sharks have Ocearch (or their previous company) killed over the past 7 years?
