Great Lakes Acoustic Telemetry Observing System

The Great Lakes Acoustic Telemetry Observing System (GLATOS) is a network that uses underwater sensors to track the movements of fish and other aquatic animals in the Great Lakes. By attaching small acoustic tags to these animals, researchers can monitor their behavior, migration patterns, and habitat use in real-time. This system helps scientists gather crucial data to understand ecosystems better, inform conservation efforts, and manage fish populations effectively. Ultimately, GLATOS contributes to preserving the health of the Great Lakes and supporting sustainable fishing practices.
