Global Shark Tracker
 
 

 
   
   
Global shark tracker is a GPS based tracking system that allows visitors to the web site to be able to select a shark and see its geographical location as well as track history.

A ping is determined when a tagged shark's dorsal fin breaks the surface of the water and transmits a signal to the satellite overhead. The transmission then sends back an estimated geo-location. 

The Global Shark Tracker is available on Oceansearch.org.

OCEARCH is a non-profit organization with a global reach for unprecedented research on great white sharks and other large apex predators.
