On effort
If you want to dedicate some “effort” (time) to look for the animals, you can report more complete and useful data. Here we let you our sighting and effort forms, and a very short and easy-to-read protocol explaining how to fill them:
- Sightings_form (printable version here)
- Effort_form (printable version here)
- Protocol
Any data will be welcome!
Using new technologies
Remember that with any smartphone or tablet, recording data becomes easier! Usually they work without internet conection and they guarantee we won’t find whales on the top of the mountains ;).
With any kind of tracking app you can automatically save the track your sailing, and easily save the waypoints you want.
