Before You Go Out
Beach Conditions
Real-time weather, tide status, wave height, and moon phase fetched automatically. Includes an overall Activity-to-Visit score so you know what to expect.
Team Notes & Alerts
Share important notices with your team - equipment updates, turtle-specific alerts, or survey conditions. Everyone sees them on the dashboard.
Survey Check-In
One tap to start your survey. Captures time, location, and conditions. Tracks your session duration and links all observations to the survey.
In the Field
Tag Lookup & Verification
Search by flipper tags, PIT tags, or name. Matches current tags, historical tags, and additional tags. Flags new turtles automatically.
GPS Location
Automatic coordinates for encounter start and nest site. Track nesting locations and beach sectors across seasons.
Photo Documentation
Capture and categorize photos - carapace profile, injuries, nest markers, tag close-ups. Stored locally until sync.
Comprehensive Data Entry
Nesting status, egg count, carapace measurements, body condition, injuries, sample collection, and detailed activity timing. Auto-saves every 30 seconds.
Turtle Profiles
Encounter History
Complete timeline for every turtle - when and where they were seen, who observed them, nesting records across all seasons.
Injury Tracking
Document injuries with location mapping - boat strikes, entanglement, shark bites. Track whether injuries are fresh or healing.
Tag History
Track original tags, replacements, and additional PIT tags with full change history. Never lose a turtle's identity.
Growth & Nesting Data
Curved carapace measurements over time, nesting records, egg counts, and nest depth - all linked to the individual turtle.
Team Operations
Cloud Sync
Data syncs to the cloud when connected. Multi-device access with organization-level data isolation.
Personal & Team Stats
