The mobile app, iSeaTurtle, was created to encourage and involve citizens to contribute to sea turtle science in Texas. If someone sees a sea turtle they can send their location to us through the app. Reports of sea turtle sightings sent through the app will provide important data to scientists at Texas A&M University to map and understand the distribution of sea turtles in Texas. iSeaTurtle has a friendly and easy-to-use user interface. Anyone can download the app for free from the Google Play or iOS app stores directly to their mobile phone or tablet.
