New Reporting App

We’re delighted to launch our new IWDG reporting web application.

Following a major redevelopment and extensive testing, this new platform brings IWDG reporting into the future — making it easier, faster, and more rewarding to submit your sightings and strandings.

About the app

The IWDG Reporting App is designed for a wide range of users including citizen scientists, researchers, boat operators, and wildlife enthusiasts.

By making reporting faster and more accessible, the app helps ensure that valuable data is collected and shared efficiently, supporting the protection and understanding of Ireland’s cetaceans.

The original IWDG Reporting App was developed with support from Clare Local Development Company through the LEADER Programme, with additional functionality funded by the Irish Environmental Network (IEN).

The redevelopment of the IWDG reporting system has been supported through the Sustainable Fisheries Community (SFC) fund, an initiative associated with the North Irish Sea Array (NISA).

The SFC fund supports projects that enhance marine biodiversity recording, promote sustainable marine environments, and support coastal communities.
