Make your dives count – with BSAC’s free Sealife Tracker app

With UK divers having made the most of the improved weather this summer, why not add another dimension to your dives by helping scientists track species around the British coastline.
BSAC has co-created a free new app – Sealife Tracker – that will enable divers to help monitor the spread of invasive species in British seas.
Available to download now from iTunes, the the Sealife Tracker focuses on around a dozen non-native species of fish, invertebrates and plants which pose a potential threat to the indigenous marine life in our seas and the marine environment around our coastline.
With this easy-to-use tracker, divers and snorkellers can identify any of the species they may see on their dives and then upload details. Information uploaded via the Sealife Tracker – and it can also include photo which you can upload after a dive – will be goes towards essential research data which will be held on a central website.
The Sealife Tracker can be downloaded for free from the iTunes App Store and has been designed to work on all the main Android and iOS platforms – so where your phone goes, your Sealife Tracker goes too!
And, to help you identify any of the species while actually on a dive, there is a downloadable ‘species guide’ which can be printed off and laminated to take with you underwater.
The Sealife Tracker has been developed in conjunction with the University of Bristol, the Environment Agency, Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and Scottish Natural Heritage.
