Grey Nurse Shark Watch works because people like you share your sightings and photos to help track individuals and contribute to scientific understanding about this critically endangered species. To take a good identification photo. A great identification photo shows the shark from one side, or both sides and captures any unique features (like scars or fishing gear). |

There are two main ways you can contribute to the program:
1. Report opportunistic encounters
Are you a diver or fisher who occasionally encounters grey nurse sharks? If you have a good quality side photo of any of these sharks, you can submit your sighting and/or photographs on line at any time during the year using a simple on-line form.
Please sign up as a member to be able to submit your data and photos.
2. Become a Site Custodian for scheduled surveys
Are you a regular diver-photographer who would like to become a site custodian? If so, nominate yourself as a site custodian!
