At OCEARCH, we use sophisticated satellite and acoustic tracking technology to monitor sharks in near real-time. Every ping provides valuable insight into where these animals travel, when they migrate, and how they interact with their environment. This data is essential to understanding their role in the ocean’s ecosystem and helps guide important conservation efforts.

Shark tracking doesn’t stop when a SPOT tag goes silent. While OCEARCH may lose signals from SPOT tags after a few years, each shark is also fitted with a surgically implanted acoustic tag. These tags send signals to acoustic array receivers whenever a shark comes within half a mile, giving researchers long-term insights into shark movements and behavior. We’re also excited to share that our team is back on the water in collaboration with the Tancook Islands Marine Field Station Stay tuned as we

Hey OCEARCH Crew! 🌊 Ever wondered how our Global Shark Tracker works — or why sometimes it looks like a shark swims across land? Each shark carries a SPOT tag that connects to the Argos satellite system, but they only ping when they come to the surface. That means there can be gaps in time and space between pings. If those pings are near a peninsula or coastline, the Tracker draws a straight line between them — even if it cuts across land. We don’t “guess” the route — we show you the real data.

In Jaws, sharks were portrayed as man-hunters—relentless predators targeting people at the beach. But what does science say? In reality, white sharks are focused on seals and other marine prey, not humans. While sharks may occasionally mistake surfers or swimmers for seals, research shows if sharks were truly hunting humans, we’d see far more fatalities—and beaches would be empty. | OCEARCH
