PenguinApp

Explore penguin colonies, counts, and conservation data

PenguinApp is a simple, fast mobile app for exploring penguin colony locations and population counts across Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.

Built in collaboration with Oceanites, PenguinApp makes decades of scientific monitoring data easy to browse on your phone.

What you can do

• Search hundreds of penguin colonies by name, species, or site code
• View the latest nest counts for each colony
• See when each colony was last counted
• Explore colonies by species (Adélie, Gentoo, Chinstrap, and more)
• Open colony locations directly in your device’s map app
• Learn how to support penguin conservation through Oceanites

Data you can trust

All data comes from long-term monitoring programs led by Oceanites and the Mapping Application for Penguin Populations and Projected Dynamics (MAPPPD). This includes decades of field surveys, satellite analysis, and scientific validation.

PenguinApp uses this data locally on your device — no account, no tracking, no data collection.

Who this is for

• Students and educators
• Researchers and conservationists
• Wildlife enthusiasts
• Anyone curious about penguins and Antarctica
