Marine Animal Tracking

Marine animal tracking involves using technology to monitor the movements and behaviors of sea creatures such as whales, sharks, and sea turtles. Researchers attach devices like GPS tags or acoustic sensors to animals, which collect data on their location, migration routes, diving patterns, and activity levels. This information helps scientists understand species' habits, migration corridors, and responses to environmental changes, aiding in conservation efforts. Tracking methods vary from satellite tags that provide real-time data to acoustic monitors in the ocean that detect tagged animals underwater. Overall, marine animal tracking enhances our knowledge of marine ecosystems and supports their protection.
