In collaboration with Sharks in Israel About the project
For over a decade, Sharks in Israel has been collecting sightings of sharks and rays in the Mediterranean and Red Sea in order to monitor species status and strengthen conservation efforts.
We need a web application that will allow us to input and share data simultaneously with our partners at other stations across the Mediterranean.
Our database already contains around 12,000 sightings, which we want to manage in a secure and user-friendly way. To achieve this, we require a web app that can be used by project managers, volunteers, and observers, enabling easy data entry, streamlined workflows, data validation, and basic analysis.
