We Spot Turtles! Let's protect sea turtles together!

We Spot Turtles! is a free citizen science app that turns every beach walk into a chance to help save sea turtles. Log what you see, a turtle at sea, a fresh nest, a track in the sand, hatchlings racing to the waves, and your observation joins a global conservation dataset.

Built for the field:

• Works fully offline: photos, GPS and notes captured even without signal, synced when you're back online.
• GPS coordinates are encrypted before upload : never stored in plain text, never shared publicly, to keep nesting sites safe from poachers.
• 7 sea turtle species to identify, sorted by real-world abundance in your area.

What you can record:

• Live turtle sightings (species, behaviour, size, tag, injuries, feeding).
• Nesting activity: tracks, nests, and full excavation data for scientists.
• Hatchling emergences and predator presence.

Discover and learn:

• Illustrated profiles for all 7 sea turtle species, accessible even without an account.
• IUCN conservation status, habitats, diet, population trends.
• Available in English, French, Spanish and Reo Tahiti.

For scientists too:

• A validated scientist account unlocks detailed excavation fields and technical data entry.
