Ocean Tracking Network (OTN)

The Ocean Tracking Network (OTN) is a global research initiative that studies how marine animals like fish, sharks, and whales move through the oceans. Using advanced tracking technology such as tags and sensors, researchers can monitor their migration patterns, behavior, and how they respond to environmental changes. This information helps scientists understand marine ecosystems better, support conservation efforts, and inform sustainable fisheries management. OTN’s extensive network of tracking stations facilitates real-time data collection, enabling a comprehensive view of ocean life and contributing to the protection and health of marine environments worldwide.
