Since you are reading this article it makes me think that you might be interested in learning about our organization SharkBytes and our free research-based shark app.
SharkBytes is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve shark and human relations by educating the public regarding shark related incidents and to increase awareness of the risks of depopulation of sharks. One of the ways we accomplish this is with our free app.
Our app allows users to look up the shark history or activity at every beach or water destination in the world. The history allows users to see information on any shark incident that has ever occurred. Our database includes world wide data that goes back over 100 years which amounts to roughly 6000 incidents. We also have a user based interactive map where users can see and report all current and past shark sightings in a given area.
You may think that all this information would scare people from entering the water; but, we have found that they actually feel safer after seeing the real data. The main reason for this change is that the data usually reveals how few incidents actually occur at their beach. Also, being able to view the details of a shark incident tends to provide a peace of mind to beachgoers because with most shark encounters injuries tend to be minor.
Another feature of our app is the alerts. Anyone with a smartphone will be able to receive free alerts through a push notification whenever a new shark incident takes place so users have information on when, where, any injuries and status of beach closures. With the use of this feature, our users will be up to date with the most current shark activity without any hype. Because it is our mission to improve shark-human relations, we try not to demonize sharks by omitting the phrase “shark attack” in any of our reports. While many media organizations tend to sensationalize these events, we take pride in the fact that we report only the facts surrounding shark encounters.
