- The use of satellite transmitting tags allows scientists to track and monitor the movements and behavior of wildlife in their natural habitats. Tags, which are attached to the shark’s dorsal fin, are designed to send a signal to a satellite when the fin is above the surface for more than a minute.

These shark satellite tracks are part of an ongoing research project by SRC scientists to better understand the migratory routes and residency patterns of Tiger, Hammerhead, and Bull sharks in the subtropical Atlantic. To learn more, explore the detailed research page: GPS for Sharks.
They may not be cute and cuddly, but sharks add beauty and diversity to our planet’s oceans. Their populations are in great decline, and researching these apex predators is neither easy nor cheap. To ensure SRC’s satellite tracking study of sharks continues, adopt a shark! A tax-deductible $3,000 donation will cover the cost of one new SPOT tag. In...
Satellite tags are essentially fancy computers attached to live sharks. There are a number of things that can happen to a tag once it is released. 1. In order for a tag to transmit the shark must break the surface of the water. This can sometimes be infrequent and sporadic. 2. Our tags are equipped with enough battery life to sustain up to a year o...
Overview. Recent advances in satellite tagging and tracking are allow scientists a new window into the secret lives of marine animals. SRC uses satellite tags to track movements of shark species in the subtropical Atlantic. The goal of this work is to understand the migratory routes and residency patterns of these sharks to identify “hot ...
Nov 21, 2022 · Satellite Tags have been the most common form of shark tracking, as acoustic tags rely more heavily on manpower that is not always available. Satellite tagging can be done somewhat passively, with data being collected round the clock. They can be used over very broad areas, and are completely remote.
