The State Government has released an official shark warning app.
The SharkSmart WA app works alongside the SharkSmart website and provides near real-time information of shark activity including current alerts and warnings.
Users can also find the locations of shark monitoring receivers, beach enclosures, Surf Life Saving WA (SLSWA) patrols and Beach Emergency Numbers (BEN) signage.
Shark sightings or whale carcasses can also be reported to Water Police through the app.
Fisheries Minister Dave Kelly said the SharkSmart app is designed to help ocean users make an informed decision about their water use and take personal responsibility for their safety.
"This summer we're doing more than ever before to help people keep safe at WA beaches," said Mr Kelly.
"While the chance of a shark encounter in WA is low, it's important that ocean users switch on their Sea Sense when they head into the ocean.
"I encourage every Western Australian that loves to use our ocean to download the app to get the latest beach safety information at their fingertips."
The new app can be downloaded free, from the App Store or Google Play.
