Shark sightings can be reported on the website (Google ‘Canadian shark research laboratory’), or email: shark.mar@dfo-mpo.gc.ca, phone: 902-407-7856; or twitter: @DFO_MAR

This initiative was primarily in response to a request from the SARA office to collect and archive sightings of white sharks, but we will welcome records of any species (basking, shortfin, porbeagle, blue etc.)

Best,
