Marine Predators Decision Support Tool
Along the South African coastline, local members of the public and tourists are bound to spot some dolphins, whales, sharks, penguins, sea turtles, seals, otters, marine birds, marine invertebrates, marine fish and freshwater fish.
The Marine Predators Decision Support Tool gives members of the public and scientists the ability to view marine predator observation data captured from iNaturalist, marine predator sightings data captured from the SEAFARI mobile application and boat-based whale observation data from the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF) on a map.
The Marine Predators Decision Support Tool also gives members of the public and scientists the ability to interrogate the data on the map and see more detailed information such as the time and date of the observation, the exact location of an observation, the type of species observed, the number of species observed and a photograph if available.
