## Description

New: your photos auto-fill coordinates and date. Log a sea turtle sighting in seconds and help protect them.

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.

100% free. No ads. Only conservation.
Download We Spot Turtles! and join a growing community of citizens and scientists protecting sea turtles, one observation at a time.
