SharkSmart WA is Western Australia's official app for shark activity information. Developed by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, this free app provides users with near real-time updates on shark activity, alerts, and warnings. It also includes beach safety features such as Surf Life Saving WA patrolled beaches and weather forecasts, making it a valuable tool for planning your trip to the beach.

One of the key features of SharkSmart WA is its interactive map. Users can filter and display shark activity and beach safety features, including the locations of shark monitoring receivers, beach enclosures, and Beach Emergency Numbers (BEN) signage. By exploring and saving your favorite coastal locations, you can stay up to date on recent shark activity in those areas.

The app also keeps you informed with the latest shark activity updates. Information is prioritized into three categories: 'Nearby', 'Your Favorites', and 'Other Locations'. This ensures that you receive the most relevant information first, helping you make informed decisions about your water use.

In addition, SharkSmart WA allows users to report shark sightings or whale carcasses, which are known to attract sharks. By using location services, the app provides information about your current coastal location, making it easy to report incidents to the Water Police quickly.

SharkSmart WA is designed to help users make informed decisions about their water activities and take personal responsibility for their safety. For additional safety tips, users can follow the Sea Sense tips provided on the app's website and learn more about shark mitigation strategies.
