Ocean tracking network

An ocean tracking network is a system that uses technology to monitor and collect data about marine animals, particularly those that migrate over long distances, like sharks and sea turtles. Scientists attach special tags to these animals, which send signals to underwater receivers and satellites, allowing researchers to track their movements, behaviors, and habitats. This information helps scientists understand the health of ocean ecosystems, the impacts of climate change, and the effectiveness of conservation efforts, ultimately aiding in the sustainable management of marine life.
