Animal Tracking

This section is designed to provide information on the programs working with marine and coastal animals to understand their behavioral ecology. The organizations involved often deploy tags attached to their study subjects that provide information via radio, acoustic and satellite signals as well as standard, non-electronic markers. Improved technology in recent years has allowed for tags that provide more accurate data on a variety of variables associated the behavior of mammals, birds, fish or invertebrates.
