Report a Sighting On Desktop
Are you a citizen scientist who likes to keep track of the whales, dolphins, porpoises and sea turtles that you see along our coast? Join the Ocean Wise Sightings Network and save a whale.
Lorsque vous signalez des observations, les grands navires dans votre zone sont immédiatement alertés afin qu'ils puissent prendre des mesures pour éviter une collision ou une perturbation.
An estimated 20,000 whales are struck fatally by vessels each year. The Whale Report app empowers coastal communities and commercial mariners to work together in real time to protect whales from vessel strike and support critical marine conservation.
Whale Report is an upgraded and unified version of the widely used WhaleReport app and Whale Report Alert System (WRAS), merging well-loved features with new and improved functionalities. These alerts are informed by a combination of verified user sightings and detections from, WhaleSpotter infrared technology and hydrophone arrays operated by JASCO Applied Sciences and SMRU Consulting.
Everyone can report whale sightings, and operators of large commercial vessels—such as ferries, tugs, cruise ships, freighters, and government vessels—can apply for access to real-time whale alerts via the Whale Report App.
Report a Sighting with Whale Report App
Help the Ocean Wise Sightings Network gather data on the occurrence and distribution of cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) and sea turtles. If you see a cetacean or sea turtle in B.C. waters, use the Whale Report app to report what you see and directly contribute to important conservation-based research.
Une fois soumis, vos observations apparaîtront sur votre carte personnalisée dans l'onglet "Carte". Votre rapport sera examiné par l'équipe du réseau Sightings et vous serez peut-être contacté pour des questions de suivi.
Receive an Alert with the Whale Report Alert System
Access to the Whale Report Alert System in Whale Report lets you report sightings and receive alerts of whale presence in one space. Note that access to the WRAS is not granted to ecotourism operators or recreational boaters.
