What’s new

SharkSmart — 13 July 2026

13 July 2026

New

  • Station review: each detection station has a 'What needs review' panel, with an action for each item such as assigning a beach, confirming a receiver link, confirming a hub swap, or reviewing and enabling the station. The overview map shows each station's live hub position.
  • Data Transfer: a new page exports reference data such as beaches, species, shark-bite kits, alert templates and auto text as JSON or CSV. You can import it into another workspace after previewing the rows, and nothing is saved until you confirm.
  • Beach status from alerts: alert templates, as well as auto text, can now open or close a beach when an alert goes live. Where both apply, closed wins over open.

Improved

  • Fathom integration: choose the alert type and message template for Fathom detections from the integration's Manage dialog. Sync now runs in the background, and the dialog shows when it has finished.

Fixed

  • Alert times: alerts show the correct time in Sydney. Some alerts sent from the iOS app were showing the wrong time.
  • Team reviews: reviewers can only review, approve, reject or escalate alerts owned by their own team, even where several teams share an alert type.
  • Detections figure: the Detections figure on the analytics overview and in quarterly PDF reports now shows the right count.
  • Some SharkSmart pages no longer show 'not found' errors, saving changes to roles and permissions works again, and the Media link appears in the side menu.
